Where is the end of muscles?
Ball and socket joints allow for this movement with a wide range of motion
How many thoracic vertebrae are in the spine?

How does you muscle pull on bones?
a characteristic of ligament tissue that allows for slight movement within a joint is

What is the Achilles tendon?
Other than circumduction these movements are preformed at the shoulder and hip joint
What is internal and external rotation?
Explain the difference between the axial and appendicular skeleton. (bones, location, function)
How is the axial skeleton made up of mostly flat bones found in the center of the body. Used for protecting vital organs.
Explain the step by step process on how voluntary muscle works to move the skeleton.
The process begins with the brain sending a signal via the nervous system. The nervous system passes the electrical signal to the muscle tissue. This begins muscle contraction. The tendon/s, found at the end of the muscle/s then pulls on the bones to create movement.
If a joint exceeds it typical range of motion ligaments may
What is ligament tearing?
tendons are non elastic for what reason?
Tendons are dense tissue so there is no lag time between muscle contraction and skeletal movement
the four movements that occur at the ankle joint
What is plantar flexion, dorsi flexion, eversion, and inversion
