Detailed explanation-1: -Overview. 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-4: -The tissue that attaches bones to bones is called a ligament and the tissue that attaches muscles to bones is called a tendon.

Detailed explanation-5: -Entheses (insertion sites, osteotendinous junctions, osteoligamentous junctions) are sites of stress concentration at the region where tendons and ligaments attach to bone.
