Explanation:
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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tendons are vital in movement because they carry the muscle contraction force to the bone they are attached to. Tendons help to keep the joints in place.
Detailed explanation-3: -The point at which the tendon forms attachment to the muscle is also known as the myotendinous junction (MTJ) and the point at which it attaches to the bone is known as the osteotendinous junction (OTJ). The purpose of the tendon is to transmit forces generated from the muscle to the bone to elicit movement.
