Structure Fits Function… Muscular System-Tendons
In Science, Konrad, Oni and I have been studying the muscular system. Part of the muscular system is tendons. We learned everything from Wikipedia and BioDigital.
There are many parts to the Muscular system but tendons are probably some of the most important parts. Tendons are like gum. It can move with the muscle and the bones. Tendons bind the muscle to a bone, just like a piece of gum can bind two things together. If you have ever heard of a muscle being torn or tearing basically what is happening is there are multiple tears (mostly smaller tears but sometimes the tears can be bigger) in the tendon. You will know when this happens because you will feel pains in the tendon along with the area becoming swollen and stiff. You will also not be able to move the area because the tendon helps the bone move, and if it’s not working, you can’t move the bone.
