Tree Number(s): A02.880
Unique ID: D013710
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013710
Annotation: tendon rupture: coordinate TENDON INJURIES with RUPTURE; /‌surg: consider TENDON TRANSFER; /‌transpl: do not confuse with TENDON TRANSFER; for specifically located tendons coordinate with general area of tendon, not a bone term, (metacarpal tendon = TENDONS + HAND or FINGERS, not METACARPUS); "false tendons" of heart = PURKINJE FIBERS
Scope Note: Fibrous bands or cords of CONNECTIVE TISSUE at the ends of SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBERS that serve to attach the MUSCLES to bones and other structures.
Entry Term(s): Endotenon; Epotenon; Tendons, Para-Articular; Tendons, Paraarticular
NLM Classification #: WE 600
