ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tough, fibrous, cord-like tissue that connects muscle to bone or another structure, such as an eyeball. Tendons help the bone or structure to move.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tendon is attached to the bone by collagenous fibres (Sharpey fibres) that continue into the matrix of the bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Myotendinous junction. The junction that connects muscles to tendon cells. It is composed of ECM components, secreted into the space between the two cell types, that bind to integrin receptors on these cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Skeletal muscle is attached by cord-like tendons to bone, such as in the legs, arms, and face. Skeletal muscles are called striated (pronounced: STRY-ay-ted) because they are made up of fibers that have horizontal stripes when viewed under a microscope.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tissue that attaches bones to bones is called a ligament and the tissue that attaches muscles to bones is called a tendon.
