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: -Paratenon: Loose layer of connective tissue that lets the tendon move against the epitenon and other tissues that the tendon touches. Located outside the epitenon. Sharpey fibers: Collagen fibers that attach the tendon to 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: -A tendon is a cordlike extension of the preceding three linings. It extends beyond the muscle tissue to connect the muscle to a bone or to other muscles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dense connective tissue is what makes up tendons and ligaments and consist of a higher density of collagen fibers. Examples of specialized connective tissues are adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, blood, and lymph.
