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.
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.
The human torso is the whole human body excluding the head, neck, and limbs.
The function is locomotion.
The structural components of the pectoral limbs (forelimbs) include the scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. In contrast, the pelvic limbs (hindlimbs) consist of the pelvis, femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges. Both limb types feature a combination of bones that provide support, mobility, and dexterity, with the pectoral limbs adapted for grasping and manipulation, while the pelvic limbs are designed for locomotion and weight-bearing. Additionally, both limbs include muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints that facilitate movement and stability.
Mammals have limbs that are typically adapted for various modes of movement, such as running, climbing, swimming, or flying. These limbs are usually jointed, with bones, muscles, and tendons that allow for flexibility and strength. Additionally, mammals often have specialized structures like claws, hooves, flippers, or wings depending on their specific ecological niche.
There are over 400 tendons in the human body.
Tendons belong to the musculoskeletal system in the human body.
The Achilles tendon is one of the thickest tendons in the human body.
Tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to other bones in the human body.

Muscles and tendons work together to facilitate movement in the human body by connecting to bones. Muscles contract to generate force, pulling on tendons which then pull on bones to create movement. Tendons act as a bridge between muscles and bones, transmitting the force generated by muscles to produce coordinated movement.
