Tendons are tough bands or strands of tissue that connect muscles and organs to the bones and to other muscles. They will strectch to a point, but if pulled too hard (by injury, stress, or overexertion), they can split apart. This is commonly seen in the voluntary muscles where stress is placed on the tendon without proper stretching beforehand, or where too much force is applied to one limb as when running, jumping, or lifting. In younger individuals, the less-developed muscle will often tear before the attached tendon. In older individuals, the blood supply to the tendon make become insufficient, causing it to weaken.
