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.
A tendon is a band of connective tissue that connects muscle to bone. The tendons and muscles work together to control joint movement. When a muscle contracts, it pulls on the tendon, which then pulls the bone to cause movement.n this way, tendons play an important role in muscle control of the body. Tendons are made of parallel collagen fibers running the length of the tendon. These collagen fibers give the tendon its strength. Tendons grow into the bone creating a connection that is extremely strong and hard to break.
