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.
The structure of tendons can be divided into six major areas. The smallest component of a tendon is a collagen fibril. A collagen fibril is a group of interconnected collagen strands that are bound together. One step up in the tendon structure is the collagen fiber.
