Without doubt, elasticity and gravity, under the generatingand controlling power of contractility, aid in accomplishing various kinds ofmotion. Thus membranes, tendons, ligaments, cartilages, and bones, by theirphysical and mechanical properties, modify, economize, facilitate, concentrate,and direct the motive power generated by the pure muscular substance; butstill the only real source of motion in the body is muscular tissue, and the onlymode in which motion is generated is by contractility.
