Question
if there were no tendons in your axial skeleton, you would not be able to...
choose all that apply
type
walk
nod your head
arm wrestle
speak
chew your food
Tendons connect muscles to bones. The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib - cage. Nodding the head (involves neck muscles connected via tendons to skull and vertebrae), speaking (involves muscles of the larynx, pharynx etc. connected via tendons to the axial skeleton), and chewing (involves muscles connected to the skull via tendons) are functions that rely on the axial skeleton and its associated tendons. Typing, walking, and arm - wrestling involve the appendicular skeleton (limbs) more prominently.
