2. Additional Notes
2.1. Red muscle fibers are predominantly found in animals that work over a long period of time.
2.2. Muscles vary in their tenderness based on their use of that muscle when the animal is living.
2.3. Tendons are made up predominantly connective tissue known as elastin.

3.3. Ligaments attach bones to one another.
3.4. Hinge joints allow movement around a single axis, much like a door hinge.
