Summary Introduction

To determine:

The effect on the ability of the muscle to move if the tendons attached to the muscle is severed.

Tendons are strong fibrous tissue that connects the muscles to the bones. It is an aggregate of the epimysium, perimysium and endomysium. They are made up of collagen and have the ability to withstand tension. The fibers penetrate into the bone and adhere strongly.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why might stretching a cramping muscle INCREASE the cramping, as well as why would contracting the opposing muscle rapidly improve the situation?
Skeletal muscles can only produce a mechanical force as they are contracted, but a leg flexes and extends while walking. How can muscles perform this task?
If individual muscle fibers always contract the entire way when stimulated, how are we able to create precise and delicate movements with our bodies?
