Definition:Dense regular connective tissue connecting two or more adjacent skeletal elements or supporting an organ.
Comment:[homology-note] "Compared with their Ediacarian predecessor, Cambrian animals in general were characterized by their much stouter bodies. The stoutness of the body is likely due to the formation of ligaments and tendons, which in turn requires the crosslinking of collagen triple helices.[well established][VHOG]" xsd:string {date_retrieved="2012-09-17", external_class="VHOG:0001272", ontology="VHOG", source="PMID:8710894 Ohno S, The notion of the Cambrian pananimalia genome. PNAS (1996)", source="http://bgee.unil.ch/"}
