Ligament attachments are preserved as much as possible
Tendons are tough bands or strands of tissue that connect muscles and organs to the bones and to other muscles. They will strectch to a point, but if pulled too hard (by injury, stress, or overexertion), they can split apart. This is commonly seen in the voluntary muscles where stress is placed on the tendon without proper stretching beforehand, or where too much force is applied to one limb as when running, jumping, or lifting. In younger individuals, the less-developed muscle will often tear before the attached tendon. In older individuals, the blood supply to the tendon make become insufficient, causing it to weaken.
Much of the damage caused by Mount St Helens was blast damage from the initial explosion. This explosion was projected northward out of the side of the volcano, unlike other explosions, which have most of their force directed upward.Most of Pinatubo's damage was caused by ashfall, which was exacerbated by heavy rain from Typhoon Yunya, which impacted the Philippines during the eruption.
It can do more damage than Dynamites.
Calcified tendonitis is a situation where the body has expressed calcium into the tendon and/or the tissue intimately surrounding the tendon. This can look like either A. calcium showing up in a healthy tendon that will then most likely be reabsorbed (painfully) by the body or B. there is so much load on the tendon that the brain tells it to get stronger, so the body starts to (essentially) turn the tendon into bone. Calcified tendonitis can show up anywhere, but the most usual location is in the shoulder tendons.
Ligaments are strong rope like structures that connect the joints. They hold the bones together and also allow limited movements of the bones across the joint. Tendons attach muscles to bones. They are much thinner as compared to muscles, but transmit the force of contraction very effectively.

It may only take an external force for me to damage my throat.
if the quads contract too much, then there is a possible danger that the tendon could be damadged.
According to the surgeon who is about to fit one into my back the Wallis ligament costs around £1400
The longest Ligament found in the human body is the ligament of Plantaris. This muscle is relatively small and useless which makes this ligament even more usefull because it can be used to replace other ligaments if they are damaged. Plantaris attached from the bottom part od the femur (the Lateral Condyl tp be precise) and its lon tendon runs the entire length of the Leg (in anatomy the leg reffers only the the bottom part of the Lower Limb between the knee and the ankle) where it attaches to a tarsal bone called Calcaneous. The function of this muscle is therefore to Plantar Flex the Foot (pull it down) and a little to Flex the knee but there are several other much larger muscles that can easily take care of this so the removal of the ligament is not all that consequential.
The corresponding muscle will shrink due to the decreased activity tendon. This is because when the tendon is torn the area around the tendon will not be in very much use until the tendon is repaired which can take a good while unless professionally handled. The muscle will go back to its original size once the tendon heals and the muscle is used more.

a sprained ligament is when something in your body stretched out too much and if the individual walks on it the injury might get worse by inflammation.
The reflex hammer is used to check a person's reflex reponses. It is intended for testing tendon reflexes by striking the tendons. The reflex hammer is held by the handle, particularly close to the end oposite the head, with the head resting on the tendon which you intend to test. Make sure that the head is correctly lined up relative to the tendon. The hammer should be held against the tendon for some time such that the person being tested does not know when to expect the reflex. The hammer is now swung back and "bounced" off the tendon. It is important to make sure the hammer has a great velocity at the moment of impact (but don't use too much force to avoid hurting the tendon) and that it bounces off the tendon, rather than staying in contact with it. The action should be very brisk. It is usually completed in about a second.
