ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tendons connect your muscles to your bones at the following points: Musculotendinous junction (MTJ): The point where the tendon attaches to your muscle. Note this is a frequent site of injury. Osteotendinous junction (OTJ): The point where the tendon attaches to your bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tendons integrate with the muscle and skeletal tissues through specialized structures termed the myotendinous junction and the enthesis, respectively, that provide flexible but robust and resilient anchor points.

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: -Ligaments and tendons are fibrous bands of connective tissue that attach to bone. Ligaments connect two or more bones together and help stabilize joints. Tendons attach muscle to bone. Tendons vary in size and are somewhat elastic and attach bones to muscles.
