The deltoid muscle attaches to the anterior and lateral acromion primarily by direct tendinous attachment. The muscle attaches to the dorsal side of the acromion by periosteal fiber attachment.
The papillary muscles pull on the tendinous cords
Indirect attachments are more common because of their durability and small size.
Tendons are very flexible, and also very resistant to extension. If arm muscle tissue was directly attached to the bone, then extreme movements would very easily tear the tissues and damage the muscle.
rectus abdominis
a muscle strain
Tendons are very versitile. They are made of collagenous tissue which is highly resistant to extension and also relatively flexible. The main attachment sites of skeletal muscles are tendons. Tendons are the main attachment type for skeletal muscle to bone or cartilage. Tendons are by far the most important tissue for attachment and are present wherever the point of insertion is distant or the muscle must exert its forces of contraction across a joint.
the Talus
The triceps brachii is a muscle with three attachments.
The tendinous seam running from the sternum to the pubic symphysis is called the linea alba.
The rectus abdominus is the main muscle the provides rippled abs. This muscle together with linea alba or also called as white line and the tendinous intersections builds up the core of our abs.
They are basically the same thing......connecting muscles to bones but tendons are cord-like and aponeurosis is sheetlike.Describe the difference between a tendon and an aponeurosis
