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: -Listen to pronunciation. (TEN-dun) 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: -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: -Lying outside the epitenon and contiguous with it is a loose elastic connective tissue layer known as paratenon, which allows the tendon to move against neighbouring tissues. The tendon is attached to the bone by collagenous fibres (Sharpey fibres) that continue into the matrix of the bone.
Detailed explanation-5: -Tendons (tough bands of connective tissue) attach skeletal muscle tissue to bones throughout your body.
