PATHOLOGY

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: -At fibrous entheses, the tendon or ligament attaches either directly to the bone or indirectly to it via the periosteum. In both cases, dense fibrous connective tissue connects the tendon/ligament to the periosteum and there is no evidence of (fibro)cartilage differentiation (Fig. 1a, b).

Detailed explanation-3: -Tendons link your muscles to your bones. They let your bones move as your muscles tighten and relax. Overuse, injury, aging and health conditions, such as arthritis, can damage your tendons.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Both tendons and ligaments are connective tissues. Tendons are made up of white fibrous tissue. It connects muscle to bone.
