tendon

In vertebrates, a cord of very strong, fibrous connective tissue that joins muscle to bone. Tendons are largely composed of bundles of fibres made of the protein collagen, and because of their inelasticity are very efficient at transforming muscle power into movement.

Tendons are attached at one end to the sarcolemma or connective tissue around muscle fibres, and at the other end to the periosteum, the connective tissue surrounding bone. Tendon can stand a stress of 500 kg per sq cm before snapping. Tendons have a relatively poor blood supply and heal slowly if they are torn.
