In pharmacology, the fibrates are a class of amphipathic carboxylic acids. They are used for a range of metabolic disorders, mainly hypercholesterolemia, and are therefore hypolipidemic agents.
They're made of tough, nonelastic tissue -- called fibrous connective tissue -- that transfers the force produced when a muscle contracts. Tendons are found in most parts of your body, including your arms, legs, hands and feet, and even your head and torso.
Tendon: The elongated tendon cells can be found in between the fiber bundles of the tendon. Ligament: the elongated tendon cells can be found in between fibers of the ligament. Injuries. Tendon: Excessive pressure may cause tendinitis, tenosynovitis, and avulsion. Ligament: Excessive pressure may cause torn ligaments and sprains. Conclusion. Tendon and ligament are two types of dense fibrous connective tissues found in the human body.
