Achilles tendons: plural form of Achilles tendon
Achilles' tendons: plural form of Achilles' tendon
tendon: A tough band of inelastic fibrous tissue that connects a muscle with its bony attachment
tendon: {n} sinew, a general ligature of joints
tendon: A tough insensible cord, bundle, or band of fibrous connective tissue uniting a muscle with some other part; a sinew
tendon: a tough cord or band of dense white fibrous connective tissue that unites a muscle with some other part
tendon: [from theLatin tendo, to stretch]: Strong fibrous tissue which connects muscle to bone Tendons function primarily to facilitate movement Tendons slide within lubricated sheaths, are inelastic, and are subject to sprains and ruptures
tendon: a cord or band of inelastic tissue connecting a muscle with its bony attachment
tendon: In pretensioned applications, the tendon is the pre–stressing steel In post-tensioned applications, the tendon is a complete assembly consisting of anchorages, prestressing steel, and sheathing with coating for unbonded applications or ducts with grout for bonded applications
tendon: {i} cord of fibrous tissue which connects a muscle to a bone or other part, sinew
tendon: The cord that attaches a muscle to a bone
tendon: A band or cord of strong, fibrous tissue that connects muscle to the bone
tendon: Soft tissue connecting a muscle to a bone
tendon: The fibrous band of tissue that connects muscle to bone It Is mainly composed of collagen
tendon: A flexible, non-elastic tissue that connects muscle to bone The Achilles tendon is the large connector from the heel bone into the calf muscle
tendon: A tendon is a strong cord in a person's or animal's body which joins a muscle to a bone. see also Achilles tendon. a thick strong string-like part of your body that connects a muscle to a bone (tendo, from tendere; TEND). Tissue attaching a muscle to other body parts, usually bones, to transmit the mechanical force of muscle contraction to the other part. Much like ligaments, tendons are composed of dense, fibrous connective tissue with a high collagen content, which makes them remarkably tough and strong, with great tensile strength to withstand the stresses generated by muscle contraction
tendon: the tough cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones
tendon: Tissue that connects muscle to bone
tendon: Tough tissue that connects a muscle with a bone
tendon: n Band of fiber that connects muscle to bone
tendon: Band of fibrous tissue by which muscle is attached to bone
tendon: is a projection on the end of a piece of wood shaped for insertion into a mortise The technique used in construction of post and beam structures
tendon: Tough fibrous cord attaching muscle to bone
tendon: A stringy tissue that connects muscle to bone Four tendons collectively form the rotator cuff
tendon: – thick band of tissue that attaches muscle to bone
tendon: A flat fibrous structure in the body that connects a muscle to bone They are composed of parallel collagen fibers and because they require little blood supply, they appear whitish, much like a ribbon Tendons and tendon sheaths can become irritated from repeated exertions in certain postures, and from mechanical stress Tendon disorders can affect the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder Symptoms usually involve a dull ache, with occasional swelling, in the affected area Moving or exerting force often makes these symptoms worse Recovery from these conditions is often very slow
tendon: Connective tissue serving for the attachment of muscles to bones and other parts
tendon: a band of dense fibrous tissue forming the termination of a muscle and attaching the muscle to bone U V
