tendon
Movement
No, a tendon is not a type of muscle. Tendons are tough, fibrous connective tissues that attach muscles to bones. They help transmit the force generated by muscles to move the bones.
Severing the tendon attached to a muscle would severely impair the muscle's ability to move the body part. Tendons are what connect muscles to bones, allowing the muscle to generate force and move the bone. Without the tendon, the muscle would not be able to effectively transmit its force to move the body part.
There is no such thing as the tendon muscle. Muscles contract to move joints tendons connect bone to help form joints.
The tendon you are referring to is likely the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. When you walk, the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles contract, causing the Achilles tendon to stretch and recoil, enabling movement. This rolling motion helps propel you forward and assists in absorbing the impact of each step.
Tendons in the arm are located throughout the muscles and connect muscles to bones. They transmit the force generated by muscles to move the bones and perform various movements in the arm. Examples include the biceps tendon, which attaches the biceps muscle to the radius bone in the lower arm.

tendon
There are many muscles that attach to the calcaneus, but the two biggest ones are the gastrocnemius and soleus. These two muscles attach to the calcaneus, via the achilles tendon. The other muscles are: the foot intrinsic muscles, so they begin and end only in the foot, and the plantaris, which attaches to the femur, and travels down to the calcaneus.
Tendons hold muscle to bone. (Ligaments hold bone to bone.)
Yes. tendon connects bone to muscles.
The Achilles tendon attaches the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel bone (calcaneus).
