Tendon connects (b) Muscle to bone. Tendons are fibrous connective tissues that serve to anchor muscles to bones, facilitating movement. When a muscle contracts, it pulls on the tendon, which in turn pulls on the bone, causing movement at the joint. This arrangement allows for efficient transmission of force generated by muscle contraction to the skeleton, enabling activities such as walking, running, and lifting. Tendons are composed of densely packed collagen fibers, providing strength and stability to withstand the forces exerted during movement while maintaining the integrity of the muscle-bone connection.
