clear whitish because of lack of blood vessels
Tendons attach muscle to bone.
Connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons are composed mainly of collagen fibers that provide strength and stability. Ligaments connect bones to bones while tendons connect muscles to bones. They are tough and fibrous in nature, with tendons typically appearing more white and dense, while ligaments are slightly more elastic in structure.
Tendons are strong, fibrous connective tissues that connect muscles to bones. They typically have a shiny, white appearance due to their dense collagen fibers, which give them tensile strength. When viewed under a microscope, tendons show a parallel arrangement of collagen fibers, which contributes to their ability to withstand tension. Overall, tendons are tough and flexible, allowing for efficient movement and support in the musculoskeletal system.
Tendons look like yellow to white and is shiny. Muscle gradually becomes tendon, specially at insertion site and on many occasion from origin also. It is made of collagen fibres and they are very stong. As strong as steel wires weight for weight. There function is to transmit the the pull of muscles as they contract. Tendons are nonelastic in nature. Tendo achillis is the probably the strongest tendon in body after tendon of quadriceps femoris muscle. Most beautiful tendons are cordae tendinae in papillory muscles of ventricles of heart.
ligaments and tendons shorten and becomes less flexible with age
Tendons, they connect muscle to bone
It's found in the ligaments, tendons, cartilage, etc.
Tendons are shiny white tissues at the ends of the muscles that attach muscles to bones.Noli turbare circulos meos;)
Scar tissue is essentially collagen, the same tissue that makes up tendons and ligaments. Tendons attach muscles to bone and ligaments attach bones to each other. Next time you eat chicken, look at the inedible bits attached to the bones; you'll see they are white.
A cord or band of dense, tough, inelastic, white, fibrous tissue, serving to connect a muscle with a bone or part
