Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball.
Patella is the sesamoid bone, which has developed in the patellar tendon. This tendon is attached to the tuberosity on the upper and anterior part of tibia bone.
The Achilles tendon is often described as looking like a pair of scissors due to its shape and function. It is the largest and strongest tendon in the human body, connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. The term "scissor-like" refers to the way the tendon tapers and attaches to the bone.
True. The calcaneal tendon, also known as the Achilles tendon, is the largest and strongest tendon in the body. It connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and plays a crucial role in the movement of the foot and ankle.
When the muscle contracts, the tendon pulls on the bone to create movement. The tendon is the connective tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone, so when the muscle contracts, it exerts force on the tendon, which in turn moves the bone.
Yes, you can live without a tendon as long as other muscles and tendons can compensate for the lost function. However, losing a crucial tendon can significantly impact mobility and functionality in the affected area.
Because this tendon has to articulate the whole mass of the body, whereas in the wrist are several tendons and these only articulate the hand.

muscles connect to ligaments connect to bones!
The Achilles tendon is attached to the calf muscle (gastrocnemius). It is also attached to the heel bone (calcaneus). Achilles tendon is also known as the calcaneal tendon (calcaneal hence the heel bone calcaneus).
Patella is the sesamoid bone, which has developed in the patellar tendon. This tendon is attached to the tuberosity on the upper and anterior part of tibia bone.
The joint, near where the tendon is attached to the bone, acts as the fulcrum.
muscle attaches to bone by a tendon. muscle is attached to an immovable bone, this is called orgin, and the other end of the muscle is attached to a movable bone. this is called insertion.
A muscle insertion is the end of a muscle attached to the free-moving bone of its joint. A muscle origin is the end of the muscle attached to the relatively fixed bone of the joint.
on one end of a tendon comes from the muscles while the other hand is attached to a bone,then it pulls

INSERTION
The tendon between the muscle and the bone connects the muscle to the bone.
