Question

Tendon is made up of
(a) adipose tissue
(b) modified white fibrous tissue
(c) areolar tissue
(d) yellow fibrous connective tissue

Answer 1

(B) modified white fibrous tissue

Answer 2

The correct answer is OPTION B: modified white fibrous tissue.

• A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that connects the muscle to the bone.
• It's a bone-attached band of thick fibrous connective tissue.
• Tendons play a vital function in movement by transferring the muscle contraction force to the bone.
• Tendons are viscoelastic structures, which means they are viscous as well as elastic.
• A tendon is an example of which the Achilles tendon, also known as the calcaneal tendon, is one.
• Fibrous connective tissue includes ligaments, tendons, and sclera. Bone to bone, not a bone to muscle, is linked by yellow fibrous connective tissue.
