a cord or band of dense, tough, inelastic, white, fibrous tissue, serving to connect a muscle with a bone or part; sinew. [1535–45; < Medieval Latintendōn-,s. oftendō< Greekténōnsinew (sp. with-d-by association with Latintendereto stretch)] ...
The connection site between muscle and tendon is termed "myotendinous junction," while the junction between tendon/ligament and bone is termed "enthesis." These two regions are the center of physical function, but how this functional complex is formed during development is unclear. In this ...
Tendon is a crucial component of the musculoskeletal system. Tendons connect muscle to bone and transmit forces to produce motion. Chronic and acute tendon injuries are very common and result in considerable pain and disability. The management of tendon injuries remains a challenge for clinicians. Ef...
A tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone, designed to transmit forces and withstand tension during muscle contraction. Tendon may be surrounded by different structures: 1) fibrous sheaths or retinaculae; 2) reflection pulleys; 3) synovial sheaths; 4) pe...
A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments and fascia as they are all made of collagen except that ligaments join one bone to another bone, and fascia connect ...
Tendons connect muscle to bone and play an integral role in bone and joint alignment and loading. Tendons act as pulleys that provide anchorage of muscle forces for joint motion and stability, as well as for fracture reduction and realignment. Patients that experience complex fractures also have ...
Tendons are bands of dense, fibrous connective tissue interposed between muscles and bones. They transmit the forces created in the muscles to the bone, makingjointmotionpossible. Some tendons may also connect two muscle bellies (e.g., digastrics, omohyoid). The gross tendon structure varies cons...

The fate and differentiation of these cells is regulated by transforming growth factor beta and bone morphogenetic protein signaling, respectively. Muscle loads are then necessary for the tissue to mature and mineralize. Mineralization of the attachment unit, which occurs postnatally at most sites, is...
Where a muscle ends and attaches to a bone or tendon? The moveable end of the muscle that attaches to the bone being pulled is called themuscle's insertion, and the end of the muscle attached to a fixed (stabilized) bone is called the origin. During forearm flexion—bending the elbow—...
