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 are made out of connective tissue that has a lot of strong collagen fibers in it. This means that they are very resistant to tearing, but not very stretchy. Compared to muscles, they have fewer blood vessels in them too.
Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscles are connected to your bones by tough cords of tissue called tendons (TEN-duhns). As the muscle contracts, it pulls on the tendon, which moves the bone. Bones are connected to other bones by ligaments (LIG-uh-muhnts), which are like tendons and help hold your skeleton together.
