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.
The simplest answer is that a tendon connects skeletal muscles to bones. As is generally the case in science, however, the story of the tendon requires a few more chapters than that. Every structure in your body can be broken down into four basic types of tissues. Epithelial tissue covers surfaces and lines cavities.
