A tendon or sinew is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone. They are similar to ligaments except that ligaments join one bone to another.

Tendons are composed mainly of water, type-I collagen and cells called tenocytes. Minor fibrillar collagens, fibril-associated collagens and proteoglycans are present in small quantities and are critical for tendon structure. Most of the strength of tendon is due to the parallel, hierarchical arrangement of densely-packed collagen fibrils. Tenocytes are specialised fibroblasts responsible for the maintenance of collagen structure.
