Action of skeletal muscle
Muscles can only contact ( shorten ) -muscles can only pull (when attached to tendon and tendon attached to bone) and not push
-Can’t be stretched past normal state
-muscles work anatagonsically in pairs on contracts one relaxes
Organization skeletal muscle to bone and tendon
Muscles are attached to tendon and tendon attaches to bone
-tendons assists with movement and stability of muscles
-but tendons can snap if movement contradicts muscles typical muscles action.
