APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The point where the muscle pierces in the tendon is called muscle-tendon junction, while the point where the tendon inserts on the bone is called osteo-tendinous junction. Two different types of specialized fibroblasts co-exist in the tendon tissue: tenocytes and tenoblasts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aponeuroses are large flat sheets of connective tissue similar to tendons. They are responsible for binding muscle to bone and to the fascia of other muscles.
