Question

What is the difference between a bone and a muscle?

Answer 1

They are different because....

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscles: produce heat for the body to sustain temperature, helps with balance, posture and muscle tone - partial contraction of muscles taking turns to hold the neck up for example. 3 types of muscle, being; cardiac (found in the heart as a thick, branched arrangement of muscle cells), skeletal (the ones you can flex and aid movement) and smooth (found in the uterus and alimentary canal, aiding internal movement). So the main purpose is movement, heat and balance.

Bones: leverage movement, protect vital internal organs, provide a framework for the body, produce red blood cells from red bone marrow, store minerals and fat in yellow bone marrow, in the middle of the bone, known as the diaphysis. The last one is also that they allow our joints to connect provide a foundation for tendons to attach to. There are also many types of joints, but that’s for another time.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Muscles are attached to bones; they help us walk and run and smile. All the bones in our body make up our skeleton from the top of our skull to the tips of the phalanges at the end of our toes. Muscles stretch across our bones and are attached with tendons.
