how are muscles attached to the bones?

Tendons join muscle to bone. They have tensile strenght, but very little elasticity.

the skeletal system provides structure and the muscles allow flexion and extension at the joints.

They contract. Muscles are made up of overlapping fibers of myosin and actin. The myosin fibers have "heads" that attach on to the actin filaments and pull on them, which slides the fibers along each other.\n\nIt's more complicated than that, but I don't know how much you want to know. The myosin heads require ATP in order to latch onto the actin filaments. Additionally, the bonding sites on the actin are usually hidden, and require calcium ions in order to expose those sites.

Cells called osteocytes deposite collagen and release calcium phosphate which eventually hardens into a mineral called hydroxyapatite. This eventually forms a mineralized connetctive tissue which allows your muscles and other organs to attach themselves.

are you trying to get us to do your homework!!?\n\nwell i will help you lol!\nmuscles always work in pairs because they can only contract and not ..... ? these pairs are known as antagonistic muscles. For the movement to occur, one muscle shortens (contracts) while the other muscle lengthens (relaxes) the muscle that contracts is known as the.....muscle. Muscles which hold the bone in place are known as tendon muscles\n\nsorry I didn't get them all, those were the ones I could do off the top of my head!

it depends on what you consider a body part... just bones?  bones and muscles?  And tendons... ligaments....

The largest bone in the human body is known as the femur.  This is the bone that connects your hip and your knee.  A lot of elderly people suffer fractures, (broken bones) of the hip which is the top portion of the femur bone where it goes in a socket.  This socket is something like your elbow or your knee.    from, Jill,R.N.

Body weight may be divided into three types: bones, muscle and fat. In a healthy female of average weight, bones make up 12 percent of total body weight, muscle/lean tissue about 35 percent and body fat about 27 percent. The remaining body weight is skin, connective tissue, tendons, blood, organs and so forth.\n\nThe number of muscles in the human body varies from about 656 to 850, depending on which expert you consult. No exact figure is available because there are a variety of opinions about what constitutes a distinct muscle (versus a part of a complex muscle). Also, there is some variability in muscular structure between individuals.

A tendon conects the muscle to bone, though some muscles are directly attached to bone without a tendon connecting them. Ligaments are a simular tissue, but connect one bone to another.\nMuscle spindles are a sensory fibre in muscles that are trigered by muscular contraction.

Muscle mechanics\nThe gluteus maximus, the large muscle in your buttocks, works together with the two muscles on your outer hip, called your hip abductors. The hip abductors are the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. Attached to your pelvis and the top of your thighbone, the gluteus medius - with the assistance of your gluteus minimus, located under it - moves your leg out, away from the center of your body.

Muscle and tendons bind moving bones to other moving bones - if muscles are tense and tight, or developed in an unequal way, the overall alignment of the body is thrown off balance.\n\nMy own experience of this has been with tight hamstrings (muscles running down the backs of the thighs, and linking with the rear of the pelvis). The fact that these are tensed and shorter than they should be causes the back of the pelvis to be pulled backwards and down, causing arching of the lower back. Daily stretching and regular physio are key to to alleviating the tension problems.

Tendon= A band of tough, inelastic fibrous tissue that connects a muscle with its bony attachment.\n\no to answer your question, Tendons connect muscle to bone!

Ossification is the process of bone formation, in which connective tissues, such as cartilage are turned to bone or bone-like tissue. The ossified tissue is invaginated with blood vessels. These blood vessels bring minerals like calcium and deposit it in the ossifying tissue. It is thought that this process led to bone as a structural element in vertebrates. Minerals were deposited in cartilage, which was used for storage. Bone was thus an exaptation from the ossified cartilage

A joint is a point where it can go in a variety of ranges of motion, the perfect example being the shoulder. It rolls and makes movement much easier. Muscles on the other hand can only contract to aid movement. They work together wonderfully and any injury to one or the other can cause major disruption in function of either the joint or muscles. I hope this helps.

1. framework that supports the body: muscles and tendons attach to skeleton.\n2. protects internal organs including brain\n3. contains & protects red bone marrow; production of red blood cells and white blood cells\n4. Provides storage for inorganic salts such as calcium: regulates amount of calcium in blood stream.
