A reader could explain the meaning of fascia as "the covering around the muscles." This is supported by the passage where fascia is described as "the 'Saran Wrap' around all muscles," indicating that it serves as a protective and supportive layer surrounding the muscles.
Use the excerpt from the passage Pick Up Sticks to answer the question.
"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?
the covering around the muscles
the same as muscles and tendons
solid like the bones in the body
plastic like Saran Wrap
