Explain how the concept of "tensegrity" works within the myoskeletal system

What will be an ideal response?

A complete response should include these concepts:
• The structure of the body demonstrates a geometry similar to the tensegrity models and structures of Snelson and Fuller.
• The body is a flexible structure built on a dynamic relationship between the bones and myofascia, rather than being a rigid structure built on columns of bones.
• Muscles and fascial structures hold the bones in place by a balanced tension between them.
• More weight is borne by the elaborate dynamic system of muscles, tendons, and ligaments than by the bones.
• The body is able to absorb impact and dissipate energy along the flexible myofascial net.
