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 usually round, oval, or elongate in cross section and consists of fascicles of collagen fibers, which are embedded in a ground substance and generally run parallel to the long axis of the tendon. Connective tissue is associated with a tendon in the form of a sheath on its surface, called epitenon.
