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: -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: -Paratenon: Loose layer of connective tissue that lets the tendon move against the epitenon and other tissues that the tendon touches. Located outside the epitenon. Sharpey fibers: Collagen fibers that attach the tendon to the bone.
Detailed explanation-4: -A tendon is composed of dense fibrous connective tissue made up primarily of collagenous fibres. Primary collagen fibres, which consist of bunches of collagen fibrils, are the basic units of a tendon.
Detailed explanation-5: -The tendons integrate with the muscle and skeletal tissues through specialized structures termed the myotendinous junction and the enthesis, respectively, that provide flexible but robust and resilient anchor points.
