It is the thickest and strongest tendon in the body, back of the leg, from the heel to the calf
Collagen is the main component of tendons and is the strongest elastic material found in human tendons. It provides strength, flexibility, and support to tendons to help withstand tension and force during movement.
Sesamoid bones act as pulleys to reduce friction and increase the mechanical efficiency of tendons. They also help protect tendons from excessive wear and tear. Sesamoid bones are commonly found in locations where tendons pass over joints.
The human body is made up of a large number of tendons. Everywhere where a bone is connected to muscle tissue a tendon will be found, so they are in every limb of the human body.
Tendons are located in the musculoskeletal system. In the leg, tendons can be found connecting muscle to bone, like the Achilles tendon connecting the calf muscle to the heel bone. Tendons play a crucial role in transmitting the force generated by muscles to move the bones and joints.
The bones found in tendons are called sesamoid bones. These are small, round bones embedded within a tendon or muscle, often found near joints like the knee or hand. Sesamoid bones help to reduce friction and provide a smooth surface for tendons to glide over.
Loading of tendons and ligaments. This is found in all tendons and ligaments and is not a feature of injury.
Tendons
It is found in brain,nerves and spinal cord and is not found in tendons
Collagen is the main component of tendons and is the strongest elastic material found in human tendons. It provides strength, flexibility, and support to tendons to help withstand tension and force during movement.
It's found in the ligaments, tendons, cartilage, etc.
Seisamoid
Tendons.
The tendons in a chicken wing connect muscles and bones. There are various muscle groups that are found in chicken.
Tendons called apeneurosis.
One end of a tendon comes from the end of a muscle while the other end is attached to a bone. Some tendons are round while others are flat. Tendons also differ in length and thickness.
Sesamoid bones act as pulleys to reduce friction and increase the mechanical efficiency of tendons. They also help protect tendons from excessive wear and tear. Sesamoid bones are commonly found in locations where tendons pass over joints.
Cartilages are found in ears, knees and elbows, between the ribs, between tendons and ligaments and nose
