ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tendons are able to act like elastic bands, they can stretch and bounce back into shape. Like elastic bands, if too much force is applied they can stretch or tear.

Detailed explanation-2: -Consider a muscle like a new rubber band (or hairband for the ladies w) – elastic and flexible – able to bounce back after being stretched. Ligaments and tendons are more like an old, dry rubber band – pull it too far and it will just snap apart. Sometimes surgery is required to reconnect muscles and ligaments.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscle fibers do work by contracting, pulling wing or leg bones to make them work. The action is similar to the force exerted by a stretched rubber band squeezing your fingers as the band tries to get back to its original size.

Detailed explanation-4: -You can use just about any kind of string, kite string being the most common alternative to rubber bands. It’s made out of twisted nylon twine and you can find it at just about any craft store. You can get a roll of kite string that you then cut in to pieces.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are contractile or extensional devices operated by pressurized air filling a pneumatic bladder. In an approximation of human muscles, PAMs are usually grouped in pairs: one agonist and one antagonist.
