without letting the tibia slide too far posterior (Scuderi & Tria, 2010). These are the four most important ligaments in the knee that give the knee the most stability which are shown in Figure 3.

Endoskeleton is what is inside the body like what humans. Like ours, their skeleton contains hard, strong bones, and held together by ligaments. Their internal organs are, just like ours, protected in the strong shape. “The structure of the skeleton of a tiger is similar to that of other big cats in the wild, particularly the lion. The details of the bones, ligaments and how they have been put together reveal much about the habits and make-up of this extraordinary creature.” -Meyer, Amelia 2013.…

B – dystrophin is part of a group of a protein complex that works together to strengthen muscle fibres and protect them from injury as muscles contract and relax. Dystrophin is produced by the DMD gene and mutations cause Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies, which lead to reduced amounts of dystrophin in skeletal muscle cells. This reduced amount of dystrophin causes muscles to weaken and damage over time, causing the build up of fat rather than muscle. This pseudohypertrophy causes the…
