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.

• 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.

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

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

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

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

• HindlimbRelated: Tendons transfer hindlimb muscle force across joints.

• 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.

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

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

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