Muscles of the Body
Muscles of the Body
• Ligaments connect bone to bone
• Tendons connect muscle to bone
• The origin of a muscle is the
attachment of a muscle’s tendon
to the stationary bone
• The insertion of a muscle is the
attachment of the muscle’s
other tendon to the moveable
bone
• In producing movement, bones
act as levers and joints function
as the fulcrums of these levers
• Movement is produced by a
mechanical advantage
Archimedes (287 - 212 B.C.)
• Scientist, mathematician, and engineer of ancient Greece
• Invented a planetarium
• Invented a hydraulic musical organ
• Invented the Screw of Archimedes, which moved water
uphill
• Figured out while taking a bath how to tell whether King
Hiero’s crown was made of gold, and ran naked through
the streets shouting “Eureka!”
• Invented a machine to lever ships between the dock and
the water
“Give me a lever long enough, and a
place to stand, and I will move the
earth.”
