Question
  1. Identify A, B, C and D.
  2. Write the functions of A, B, C and D.
  3. Write the difference between A and D.

Answer

  1. A- Tendon
B- BoneC- MuscleD- Ligament
  1. A- The main function of a tendon is to connect skeletal muscles to bones. Tendons are a type of connective tissue, and the primary building blocks of tendons are collagen fibers.
B- Bones have many functions. They support the body structurally, protect our vital organs, and allow us to move. Also, they provide an environment for bonemarrow, where the blood cells are created, and they act as a storage area for minerals, particularly calcium.C- the main function of the muscular system is movement, but it also helps stabilize our joints, maintain our posture and generate heat during activity. Movement of our body can be voluntary and controlled by the skeletal muscles, or it can be involuntary and controlled by smooth muscles.D- Ligaments attach two bones or cartilages,it helps in supporting and keeping the organ in position, it is made of fibrous tissue.
