The diaphragm is composed of muscle and tendon in the shape of a dome and anchored to the spine and ribs.
What is the longest ligament?
The longest Ligament found in the human body is the ligament of Plantaris. This muscle is relatively small and useless which makes this ligament even more usefull because it can be used to replace other ligaments if they are damaged. Plantaris attached from the bottom part od the femur (the Lateral Condyl tp be precise) and its lon tendon runs the entire length of the Leg (in anatomy the leg reffers only the the bottom part of the Lower Limb between the knee and the ankle) where it attaches to a tarsal bone called Calcaneous. The function of this muscle is therefore to Plantar Flex the Foot (pull it down) and a little to Flex the knee but there are several other much larger muscles that can easily take care of this so the removal of the ligament is not all that consequential.
What test makes use of a special hammer?
DTR testing or deep tendon reflex testing uses a reflex hammer to strike the tendon in an extremity checking for a response or the absence of a response when the muscle is stimulated by the hammer.

What connects to your muscles?
Muscles are attached by tendons (with a few exceptions). The muscles are attached to the tendons by a musculo-tendonious junction. The tendons are a part of the muscle that tapers off to a strong tendon. These tendons are what makes the fingers move and are so important in all movement of the body, ie, foot, mouth, elbow, hand and wrist.,,what makes these tendons work are impulses from the brain that sends a message to the muscle that the tendon is attached. This is called a motor function........makes sense doesn't it.
What is pollicis?
The word pollicis in anatomy makes a reference to anything to do with the thumb. For example, the muscle Flexor pollicus longis refers to the muscle that causes flexion of the thumb, and has a long tendon. Try putting the term together with other anatomical terms and see if they make any sense! :)
