Question

what attaches muscles to bones?
capillaries
tendons
villi
nerves

Explanation:

To determine what attaches muscles to bones, we analyze each option:

• Capillaries are tiny blood vessels for nutrient and gas exchange, not for muscle - bone attachment.
• Tendons are connective tissues that specifically function to attach muscles to bones, enabling movement by transmitting the force of muscle contraction to the bone.
• Villi are small, finger - like projections in the small intestine that increase the surface area for absorption, and they have nothing to do with muscle - bone attachment.
• Nerves are responsible for transmitting electrical signals for communication in the body (sensory and motor signals) but do not attach muscles to bones.

Answer:

B. tendons
