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: -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: -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: -A tendon is a band of tissue that connects muscle to bone. A ligament is an elastic band of tissue that connects bone to bone and provides stability to the joint. Cartilage is soft, gel-like padding between bones that protects joints and facilitates movement.
