Open in App
Solution

A fibrous connective tissue called 'tendon' attaches the muscle to the bone in humans. Tendons serve to move the bone or structure that it is attached to by transmitting the mechanical force of muscle contraction to the bones. They have one of the highest tensile strengths among the soft tissues and hence, are remarkably strong.
