A Tendon is basically a connective tissue that is used to connect the muscle to the bone. It is capable of withstanding tension. They are composed of parallel arrays consisting of collagen fibers which are closely packed together. These are held together with other proteins like proteoglycan, decorin and, in compressed regions of tendon, aggrecan.
