Tendon

A tough band of tissue that attaches bones to muscles

Real World Example

Imagine trying to hang a heavy picture frame on a wall using a thin, flimsy string. Just like a strong, reliable cord is needed to securely hold the frame in place, tendons act as the sturdy connectors that attach muscles to bones, ensuring efficient movement and support. In this analogy, the wall represents the bone, the picture frame is like the muscle, and the tendon is the strong cord that holds them together, enabling your body to function smoothly without falling apart.
