Question
Chapter 35.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The effect on the ability of a muscle to move a bone if its tendon were torn.
Introduction:
The muscles help in the locomotion of the body from one place to another. There are many muscles that are connected to the bones. The tissues that form muscles are called muscle tissues. Myopathy is a medical term that is related to the muscle tissue.
