The type of tissue that connects muscles to bones is known as tendons. Tendons are made up of dense connective tissue, which provides strength and elasticity. Their primary function is to transmit the force generated by muscles to the skeletal system, facilitating movement. Tendons are designed to withstand tensile forces while allowing limited flexibility. Injuries to tendons can significantly affect mobility and require rehabilitation to restore function. Proper care and strengthening exercises are essential to maintaining tendon health and function.
