Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect on the ability of a muscle to move a bone if its tendon were torn due to injury.

Introduction: The three types of muscle tissue in vertebrates are cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and skeletal muscle. The skeletal muscle is present throughout the body. It is directly involved in locomotion. It can generate action potentials in response to a stimulus. This results in an increased calcium ion concentration in the cytosol, which triggers force generation.
