Check understanding
- Distinguishes between tendons and ligaments and gives the function of each
- Describes how a synovial joint works (e.g. the knee or elbow)
- Explains how force is transmitted from muscle through tendon to bone to produce movement
“If your child hurt their knee playing sport, could they explain what a ligament and a tendon are, where each is found, and what would happen if one got damaged?”
