Definition:Dense regular connective tissue that connects muscle to bone[VSAO].
Comment:[homology-note] "Phylogenetically, tendinous tissue first appears in the invertebrate chordate Branchiostoma as myosepta. This two-dimensional array of collagen fibers is highly organized, with fibers running along two primary axes. In hagfish the first linear tendons appear and the myosepta have developed specialized regions with unidirectional fiber orientation - a linear tendon within the flat sheet of myoseptum.[well established][VHOG]" xsd:string {date_retrieved="2012-09-17", external_class="VHOG:0001286", ontology="VHOG", source="DOI:10.1016/S1095-6433(02)00241-6 Summers AP, Koob TJ, The evolution of tendon - morphology and material properties.
