•Muscles are attached to bones with a connective tissue called tendons which are found at the end of a muscle
and attach to the bone.
•Tendons provide stabilization during muscle contractions
•Joints are places in the skeleton where bones meet. Ligaments are connective tissues that attach bones
together within the joints, and serve to stabilize the joints while allowing for flexibility.
•In general, bones protect your organs and provide the framework for movement. When you perform weight
bearing activities (ex: lifting weights), your bones add more bone tissue and increase their bone density,
which is important to avoid breaking or porous bones
