tendón
Sign in to saveAlso known as tendons, sinew
parte del músculo estriado, constituido por fibras de tejido conectivo
A tendon is a tough, fibrous band of tissue that connects your muscles to your bones and transmits the force of muscle contractions to move your skeleton. This makes tendons essential for movement because they allow your muscles to pull on your bones and create the mechanical actions your body needs to function.

Un tendón es cada una de las bandas de tejido conectivo que se sitúan en los dos extremos de un músculo y lo unen al hueso. Su función es transmitir la fuerza generada por el músculo al hueso para producir movimiento articular. El tendón está formado por escaso número de células, fibras de colágeno y pequeñas cantidades de elastina y proteoglicanos. Cada tendón tiene dos extremos, uno de ellos se une al músculo (unión musculotendinosa) y otro al hueso (unión osteotendinosa). El tendón tiene propiedades elásticas y actúa como un muelle biológico, almacenando y liberando energía durante el movimiento. Debe diferenciarse del ligamento, que también está formado por tejido conectivo, pero une dos huesos entre sí.
