cord-like bands of tissue that connect muscles to bone

Tendons are cord-like bands of tissue that connect muscles to bone and tendon tissue is made of a tough, fibrous substance called collagen that can withstand quite a bit of force and tension.

tissues that connect muscles to bones

With respect to function, tendons are tissues that connect muscles to bones.

soft-tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone

A tendon is soft-tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone.

a tough yet flexible band of fibrous tissue

A tendon is a tough yet flexible band of fibrous tissue.

a part that connects the muscle to the bone

The tendon is a part that connects the muscle to the bone.

a flexible and resistant connective tissue

Unlike bone, tendon is unable to splinter as tendon is a flexible and resistant connective tissue

soft tissue which connects muscle to bone

Tendon is soft tissue which connects muscle to bone.

a fibrous band of collagenous tissue

A tendon is a fibrous band of collagenous tissue that is primarily used to transfer the force created by the muscle to the bone, thus allowing possible joint movement.

the connective tissue

Where the latter element is entirely dominant, the connective tissue is tendon, found especially at the point of attachment of muscles to the parts they work.

a fibrous bundle that attaches a muscle to a bone

A tendon is a fibrous bundle that attaches a muscle to a bone.

a dense connective tissue consisting of limited tendon cells and abundant extracellular matrix (ECM)

Tendon is a dense connective tissue consisting of limited tendon cells and abundant extracellular matrix (ECM).

muscles attach to bones

Tendons—muscles attach to bones by way of tendons.

a dense, highly organized fibrous connective tissue

The tendon is a dense, highly organized fibrous connective tissue, composed predominantly of type I collagen, which transmits a uniaxial force between a bone and a muscle [181, 227, 228].

a fibrous connective tissue

The tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that is composed of type I collagen and a non-collagenous matrix (including proteoglycans).

bands of connective tissue

Tendons are bands of connective tissue which attach to muscle at one end and to bone at the other.

a type of connective tissue which is also made of fibres

Tendon is a type of connective tissue which is also made of fibres.

cords made of tough tissue

Tendons are cords made of tough tissue, and they work as special connector pieces between bone and muscle.

the entire connective tissue of a particular muscle

A tendon is essentially the entire connective tissue of a particular muscle coming into one cumulative whole as one cumulative whole connects to the periosteum of the bone.

connective tissue made up of tough protein fibers

Tendon, like bone and cartilage, is connective tissue made up of tough protein fibers.
