a tendon is a tough, flexible band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscles to bones. the extra-cellular connective tissue between muscle fibers binds to tendons at the distal and proximal ends, and the tendon binds to the periosteum of individual bones at the muscle's origin and insertion. as muscles contract, tendons transmit the forces to the relatively rigid bones, pulling on them and causing movement. tendons can stretch substantially, allowing them to function as springs during locomotion, thereby saving energy.

dense connective tissue, also called dense fibrous tissue, is a type of connective tissue with fibers as its main matrix element. the fibers are mainly composed of type i collagen. crowded between the collagen fibers are rows of fibroblasts, fiber-forming cells, that generate the fibers. dense connective tissue forms strong, rope-like structures such as tendons and ligaments. tendons attach skeletal muscles to bones; ligaments connect bones to bones at joints. ligaments are more stretchy and contain more elastic fibers than tendons. dense connective tissue also make up the lower layers of the skin (dermis), where it is arranged in sheets.
