-protection -mineral store -levers/pivot points to create movement
what is a tendon?
Fibrous connective tissue that attaches a muscle to bone
What is a fixator?

What is an isotonic muscle action?
A muscle that changes length
What is a concentric muscle action?
When the muscle shortens producing tension
What is a eccentric muscle action?
When the muscle lengthens producing tension
What is an isometric muscle action?
When the muscle stays the same length
Example of a fixed/immovable joint?

Examples of a slightly moveable joint?
Between ribs and sternum, vertebrae in the spine
What is flexion?
Movement where the joint angle is decreased
What is extension?
Movement where the joint angle is increased
What is abduction?
