Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Tendon and ligament (T/L) are dense connective tissues connecting bone to muscle and bone to bone, respectively.
Detailed explanation-2: -The calcaneal tendon, also known as the tendon of Achilles, is a posterior leg tendon-a fibrous connective tissue that joins muscles in the back of the leg. It is formed when the soleus muscle tendon joins with the gastrocnemius tendon.
