Bone has always been regarded as a merely structural tissue, a “hard” scaffold protecting all of its “soft” fellows, while they did the rest of the work. In the last few decades this concept has totally changed, and new findings are starting to portr
Muscle and bone are anatomically and functionally closely connected. The traditional concept that skeletal muscles serve to load bone and transform skeleta... L Cianferotti,ML Brandi - 《Endocrine》 被引量: 141发表: 2014年 Is bone's response to mechanical signals dominated by muscle forces? resp...
Bone is not uniform in structure but is composed of several layers of different materials. The outermost layer, the periosteum, is a thin, tough membrane of fibrous tissue. It gives support to the tendons that secure the muscle to the bone and also serves as a protective sheath. This ...

Skeletal muscle and bone are connected anatomically and physiologically, and play a crucial role in human locomotion and metabolism. Historically, the coupling between muscle and bone has been viewed in light of mechanotransduction, which dictates that the mechanical forces applied to muscle are ...
Bone and cartilage are the main tissues in the skeletal system, which are connected to muscle, tendon, and ligament to form an entire system that protects the inside organs, allows body movement, secretes hormones to regulate the whole body’s metabolism, and stores hematopoietic stem cells (HSC...
The site that stays relatively stable during contraction of the muscle is called the origin. For the appendages, this is usually the attachment site closest to the trunk. The site that is moved by the contraction of a muscle is termed the insertion. For example, the muscles that flex the ...
Does muscle attach directly to bone? The bones are connected to the muscles, which cause the bones to move when the muscles tighten and relax. In some parts of the body,the muscle is directly attached to the bone. ... Tendons then act as space-saving “connectors” that transfer the mov...

Blood vessels that constitute the circulatory system include arterioles (the smallest arteries) and venules (the smallest veins) connected by capillaries (the smallest of all blood vessels). Blood cells, including red cells and platelets, normally have no tendency to adhere to each other or to th...
