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: -Tough, fibrous, cord-like tissue that connects muscle to bone or another structure, such as an eyeball. Tendons help the bone or structure to move.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Tendon and ligament are dense, fibrous connective tissues that connect muscle and bone or bone and bone and transmit the mechanical forces that stabilize the skeleton and allow for body movement (10, 11).

Detailed explanation-5: -Tendons have different shapes and sizes depending on which muscles they’re attached to. Wider and shorter tendons usually connect to muscles that generate a lot of force. Thinner and longer tendons usually connect to muscles that perform more delicate movements.
