Tendons
Tendons are tough, fibrous connective tissues attaching muscles to bones, critical for movement. Composed mainly of collagen, tendons withstand substantial tension. Injuries, like tendinitis, result from overuse or sudden strain. Proper conditioning and stretching help maintain tendon health, while severe damage might require medical interventions such as physical therapy or surgery.
