TEN-din A heavy band of fibrous connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone. 694
a tough cord or band of dense white fibrous connective tissue that unites a muscle with some other part.
strong fibrous guiders that connect muscles to bones.
Ropelike tissue that connects muscle to bone. (TG, SS)
tendon is the tissue that connects muscles to bones. If a tendon is stressed due to overuse or prolonged stress, it may develop a frictional inflamation or small tear, resulting in tendinitis.
tough, connective tissue that attach muscles to a joint.
a cord of connective tissue into which muscles fibers end by which a muscle is attached to bone or other structures
Any of the inelastic cords of connective tissue that attach muscle to bone.
The structure formed when a muscle condenses into a smaller complex before it attaches to a bone. Typically, it is stronger but much harder to heal compared to a muscle.
A fibrous band of dense regular connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone
A flexible, non-elastic tissue that connects muscle to bone. Damaged in strains.
Fibrous tissue connecting muscles to bones and other parts
(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.

is the fibrous band or cord by which a muscle is attached.
(from Latin tendere meaning “to stretch”) Tendon is a fibrous chord or band that connects a muscle to a bone or other structures. Tendons are strong because they contain very little cells but a lot of a substance called as collagen. They are also not that stretchable like a muscle, which makes them vulnerable to stretch injury. There are many tendons around the hip joint because of the huge group of thigh and pelvic muscles. Even injury to one of the tendons may cause instability of the hip joint.
A flexible, non-elastic tissue that connects muscle to bone. The Achilles tendon is the large connector from the heel bone into the calf muscle.
Extension of muscle connecting to bone.
a band of flexible, fibrous tissue connecting a muscle to bone.
Bands of collagen fibres attaching muscle to skeleton.
A cord of strong white fibrous tissue connecting muscle to bone.
A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone or muscle to muscle and is designed to withstand tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments except that ligaments join one bone to another. Tendons and muscles work together and can only exert a pulling force.
