Tendons
Muscles are attached to bones by
Muscle tone
ability of a muscle to maintain a steady state of partial contraction
What happens when a muscle contracts?
shortens & pulls
Origin
tendon attachment point to a stationary part of a bone
Insertion
tendon attachment to a moveable part of a bone
What happens when a muscle contracts?
The insertion of muscle is pulled towards its origin
Prime mover
Musle in a muscle pair that does most of the work
Tendon
Attaches a muscle to a bone
Synergist
a muscle that assists the prime mover
antagonist
