Biotensegrity

From Albert Einstein to Buckminster Fuller, biotensegrity is the property of a stable three-dimensional structure that employs continuous members under tension and discontinuous members under compression in such a way that each member operates with maximum efficiency and economy.  This is demonstrated on a macrolevel, buildings, boats, tents, and on a cellular level with membranes, microfilaments, microtubules, integrins, and pseudopodia.  This is essential to understanding how the musculoskeletal system is able to meet the functional requirements of human existence.
