What type of connective tissue attaches muscle and bone?
Dense connective tissue
Is a tendon a type of muscle?
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.
What is tendon excursion?
Tendon excursion is the distance that a tendon can move when a muscle contracts and relaxes. It is the length change that occurs in the tendon as the muscle produces movement at a joint. Tendon excursion is important for proper muscle function and joint mobility.
A bone imbedded in a tendon is called what bone?
A sesamoid bone. This type of bone is found embedded within a tendon or a muscle, typically where it passes over a joint, to protect the tendon from excessive wear and pressure. An example of a sesamoid bone is the patella, embedded within the patellar tendon.

What is an antonym for the word tendon?

What is the tough connective tissue that ties the gastronomic muscle to the calcaneous muscle?
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.
What is tendon excursion?
Tendon excursion is the distance that a tendon can move when a muscle contracts and relaxes. It is the length change that occurs in the tendon as the muscle produces movement at a joint. Tendon excursion is important for proper muscle function and joint mobility.
Injury to the body of the muscle or attachment of the tendon?
An injury to a muscle or a tendon is called a strain.
What is an origin tendon?
The origin refers to the muscle attachment that is more stable. The tendon that attaches the muscle to its origin can be called the origin tendon,
