A Tendon is basically a connective tissue that is used to connect the muscle to the bone. It is capable of withstanding tension. They are composed of parallel arrays consisting of collagen fibers which are closely packed together. These are...

Tendon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tendon (or sinew ) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments and fascia as they a...

However, it is not only tendon cells, but tendons as a whole that exhibit distinct structure-function relationships geared to the changing mechanical stresses to which they are subject. This aspect of tendon biology is considered in some detail. ... ReviewCollagen structure of tendon relates to function.

Using whole muscle and tendon mechanics experiments in the myostatin-deficient mouse model, along with cellular and molecular studies, we determined the impact of myostatin deficiency on the structure and function of skeletal muscle and tendon tissue.

We developed a physiologically realistic mathematical model of the Golgi tendon organ (GTO) whose elements correspond to anatomical features of the biological receptor. The mechanical interactions of these elements enable it to capture all salient aspects of GTO afferent behavior reported in the literature.

1. Structure of the Golgi tendon organ (GTO). GTO receptor is located in series between the tendon and muscle fibers that insert into it. It is composed of 2 types of collagen: innervated collagen that occupies the ... this is a nonlinear function of the force being exerted on the common collagen network (power "a").
