Building a prototype of a prosthetic human body part means that you must use materials in ways that will resemble the actions of the real body parts.  For example, you can use rubber bands to simulate the action of muscles on bones in order to move them. Describe two ways that the rubberbands can imitate muscles in a model of a human arm.

1. rubber bands can expand when the arms straighten and contract when the arm bends, similar to the way that muscles relax and contract. 

2. Muscles attach to bone in order to move the arm, and rubber bands can be attached to a model of the bone in order to move the model arm.
