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: -The point at which the tendon forms attachment to the muscle is also known as the myotendinous junction (MTJ) and the point at which it attaches to the bone is known as the osteotendinous junction (OTJ). The purpose of the tendon is to transmit forces generated from the muscle to the bone to elicit movement.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mesentery is folds of connective tissue that attach organs to the walls of the abdomen. It is composed of collagen fibers interspersed with adipocytes, blood vessels and nerves.
Detailed explanation-4: -The entire tendon is surrounded by a fine connective tissue sheath called epitenon. The three-dimensional ultrastructure of tendon fibers and fiber bundles is complex.
