Question

Use the excerpt from the passage Pick Up Sticks to answer the question.

Pick Up Sticks

“Think of bones like solid sticks or struts. Think of muscles, tendons, and fascia (the “Saran Wrap” around all muscles) like stretchy strings. Without the tension of the muscles, our bones would lie in a heap. When these sticks and strings work together, we stand, walk, leap, or somersault. Because of tensegrity, we can also fall and get back up.”

Using the context clues in the passage, how could a reader explain the meaning of fascia?
