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: -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-3: -Entheses (insertion sites, osteotendinous junctions, osteoligamentous junctions) are sites of stress concentration at the region where tendons and ligaments attach to bone. Consequently, they are commonly subject to overuse injuries (enthesopathies) that are well documented in a number of sports.
