Question
use the drop - down menus to complete the following statements.
the point of connection between two bones is a joint.
bones attach to bones by ligaments.
bones are drop - down menu to produce movement when muscles contract.
options in the drop - down menu: pulled, pushed
To determine the correct term for how bones move when muscles contract, we recall the relationship between muscles and bones. Muscles attach to bones via tendons, and when a muscle contracts, it pulls on the bone to create movement (muscles can't push bones to move them in the same way for locomotion - they work by shortening and pulling). So the appropriate term is "pulled".
