MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Connective tissue is one of the basic tissue types of the body. As its name implies, “connective tissue” is a term given to several body tissues that connect, support, and help bind other tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -A tendon consists of: Endotenon: Connective tissue that surrounds the primary, secondary and tertiary fiber bundles. Helps the bundles glide against each other inside the tendon. Epitenon: Thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds the entire tendon.

Detailed explanation-4: -Connective tissue (also called fibrous tissue) is one of the four primary types of animal tissue, along with epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
