Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tendons are long, fibrous cords that connect muscles to bones (for example, the Achilles tendon connects the gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus bone at the back of the heel). A severed tendon is torn completely into two sections and thus prevents the muscle from performing its function of moving a body part.
