The 30 pages that link to Tendon, each with the reason it gives.

• Skeletal muscleRelated: Tendons transmit the force generated by skeletal muscle to the skeleton.

• BiomechanicsRelated: Its elasticity and stiffness affect how muscle force reaches the skeleton.

• Connective tissueBroader topic: Its parallel collagen bundles are adapted to resist pulling forces.

• Prehensile tailRelated: Tail muscles transmit force through tendons to curl or tighten a grasp.

• ClawRelated: Tendons move digits and control claw extension in retractile-clawed animals.

• RunningRelated: Tendons transfer muscle force and store elastic energy during repeated loading.

• Running economyBroader topic: Tendon stiffness and recoil affect how much metabolic work a stride requires.

• Grip strengthRelated: Finger-flexor tendons carry forearm muscle force into the hand.

• Orthopedic surgeryRelated: Tendon injuries can impair movement and may require repair.

• Ligament (anatomy)Compared with: Tendons transmit muscle force, whereas ligaments primarily connect bones or support organs.

• FasciaCompared with: Tendons are specialized force-transmitting structures, unlike the broader fascial network.

• Postcranial skeletonRelated: Tendons transmit muscle forces to the postcranial skeleton.

• TendinopathyNarrower topic: Tendinopathy affects this tissue, whose structure and force-transmitting role shape the disorder.

• TempuraBroader topic: Tendon makes tempura the centerpiece of a filling rice dish.

• UnguligradeRelated: Tendons help support and move limbs adapted for toe-tip stance.

• HindlimbRelated: Tendons transfer hindlimb muscle force across joints.

• Tendon ruptureNarrower topic: A rupture is a complete disruption of this force-transmitting tissue.

• FingerNarrower topic: Finger tendons transmit muscle force from the forearm and hand to the bones.

• ForelimbRelated: Tendons carry muscle forces to the bones that move the forelimb.

• Muscular systemRelated: Tendons transmit the force of skeletal-muscle contraction to bones.

• Repetitive strain injuryRelated: Tendons can become irritated when repetitive loading outpaces their recovery.

• Ring fingerNarrower topic: Tendons transmit the forces that move the ring finger.

• Strain (injury)Related: A strain can involve the tendon connecting an injured muscle to bone.

• AponeurosisCompared with: Tendons perform similar force-transmitting work but are usually cordlike rather than sheetlike.

• KatsudonCompared with: It pairs rice and fried food like katsudon, but its topping is tempura rather than cutlet.

• Bursa (anatomy)Related: Tendons commonly pass beside bursae that reduce rubbing against nearby structures.

• GyūdonCompared with: Tendon shares the rice-bowl format but centers on battered, fried seafood or vegetables.

• MyologyRelated: Tendons transmit muscle force to structures that can be moved.

• Human musculoskeletal systemBroader topic: Tendons transmit the force of muscle contraction to bones.

• Myotendinous junctionNarrower topic: The junction terminates in tendon, whose collagen-rich tissue carries muscle force onward.
