Structure. Histologically, tendons consist of dense regular connective tissue fascicles encased in dense irregular connective tissue sheaths. Normal healthy tendons are composed mostly of parallel arrays of collagen fibers closely packed together. They are anchored to bone by Sharpey's fibres.
A tendon is a tough yet flexible band of fibrous tissue. The tendon is the structure in your body that connects a muscle to a bone. Tendons are very organized, as the image shows. The body creates very tightly wound fibers of collagen that are flexible but very strong. The strength of tendons is important as these tight structures are required to resist the forces of very heavy loads.
