Strain
An injury to the body of the muscle or attachment of the tendon is known as a strain. To treat a strain, the affected limb should be elevated and a cold compress applied to the area.
The gastrocnemius muscle is located in the posterior, or back part of the lower leg. The calcaneal tendon, more commonly known as the Achilles Tendon, is what connects the gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus bone.
The Achilles tendon is attached to the calf muscle (gastrocnemius). It is also attached to the heel bone (calcaneus). Achilles tendon is also known as the calcaneal tendon (calcaneal hence the heel bone calcaneus).
Tendon
The attachment of the muscle that is on the moving bone is known as the insertion. In contrast, the origin is the attachment of the muscle on the non-moving bone.
. The insertion is considered the moveable part, or the part that attaches farthest from the midline or center of the body. The insertion in known as the distal attachment.
At each end of the muscle the collagen fibers of the epimysium, perimysium and endomysium come together to form a bundle known as a tendon. If they form a broad sheet it is called an aponeurosis. I think tendon is what you're looking for.
True
Origin and Insertion One of the points of attachment is the ORIGIN (typically the non-moving point of attachment). The other point of attachment is the INSERTION (typically the moving point of attachment). For example - when the brachialis muscle (located on the upper arm) contracts - it shortens the distance between the origin (on the humerus - the upper arm bone and the insertion (on the radius - the forearm bone). The humerus does not move, but the radius does move - it moves closer to the humerus.
The Golgi tendon organ is a receptor organ that gives the body information about the force that a muscle is developing as it contracts.The structure is also known as the Golgi organ, neurotendinous organ, or neurotendinous spindle.It is found at the junction of muscle fibers with a tendon. It consists of fibers of collagen, which are stretched by the movement of the muscle, and is supplied with a sensory nerve that carries impulses to the central nervous system. This information (feedback) is used in spinal reflexes and in co-ordination of movement by skeletal muscles.
The weakest tendon in the human body isn't known. However, the Achilles tendon is viewed as the strongest in the body.
