Tendon
The tendons, that are located at each end of a muscle, are tough bands of fibrous connective tissue that attach muscle on the bone. Tendons can also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. As a muscle contracts, the attached tendon moves the bone.
The tendons are found in the entire body, from the head and neck to the legs. The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body and attaches the muscle of the calf to the bone of the heel.
Traditionally, tendons have been thought to be a mechanism that facilitates the muscles to link to the bone as well as to other muscles, functioning in order to deliver forces. This connection allows the tendons to modulate forces during locomotion, providing additional stability to the body.
