Answer:

Bone

The major functions of the bones are body support, facilitation of movement, protection of internal organs, storage of minerals and fat, and hematopoiesis. Together, the muscular system and skeletal system are known as the musculoskeletal system.

Ligament

Ligaments connect the ends of bones together in order to form a joint. They also assist in holding organs in place. Tendon: A tough, flexible and inelastic band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscles to bones.

Tendon

A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.

Cartilage

Cartilage: This smooth and flexible substance covers the tips of your bones where they meet. It enables bones to move without friction (rubbing against each other). When cartilage wears away, as in arthritis, it can be painful and cause movement problems.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

She should use the example of "the wave" in stadiums to illustrate the idea of a nerve impulse.

Explanation:

"The wave" in a sport stadium is a good example to explain how a nerve impulse works because it shows how an action potential travels from one point to its destination making changes in the membrane potential that would be the equivalent of people standing up and sitting down to allow the next row to do the same to reach its final destination.
