| conjoined tendon | Common tendon of insertion of the transversus and obliquus internus muscles into the crest and spine of the pubis and iliopectineal line; it is frequently muscular rather than aponeurotic and may be poorly developed; forms posterior wall of medial inguinal canal. See: aponeurosis of internal abdominal oblique muscle. Synonym: falx inguinalis, tendo conjunctivus, conjoined tendon, falx aponeurotica, inguinal aponeurotic fold. Contracted tendon, a condition of young horses in which the flexor tendon's of the leg are shortened. (05 Mar 2000) |

| muscle-tendon attachment | The union of a muscle and tendon fibre in which sarcolemma intervenes between the two; the end of the muscle fibre may be rounded, conical, or tapered. Synonym: muscle-tendon junction. (05 Mar 2000) |

| coronary tendon | One of four fibrous rings that surround atrioventricular and arterial orifices of the heart, providing attachment for the valve leaflets and maintaining patency of the orifice. As part of the fibrous skeleton of the heart, the fibrous rings also provide origin and insertion for the myocardium. Synonym: annulus fibrosus cordis, annulus fibrosus, coronary tendon, fibrous ring, Lower's ring. (05 Mar 2000) |

| heel tendon | See: Tendon, Achilles (12 Dec 1998) |
| slipped tendon | See: perosis. Todaro's tendon, an inconstant tendinous structure that extends from the right fibrous trigone of the heart toward the valve of the inferior vena cava. (05 Mar 2000) |
| slipped tendon disease | A manganese-deficiency perosis in the young chick, which allows the tendons on the caudal aspect of the tarsus to displace medially and laterally, so that the chick squats and walks on the plantar surface of the limbs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subcoracoid-pectoralis minor tendon syndrome | <syndrome> Pain running down the arm, numbness, paresthesias, and erythema, with weakness of the hands; due to abduction of the arm for a prolonged period (e.g., during sleep or necessitated by occupation) which stretches the axillary vessels and the nerves of the brachial plexus. Synonym: subcoracoid-pectoralis minor tendon syndrome, Wright's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synovial tendon sheath | A sheath of synovial membrane enveloping certain of the tendons; it contains a small amount of synovial fluid. Synonym: vagina synovialis tendinis, mucous sheath of tendon, theca tendinis, vagina mucosa tendinis, vaginal synovial membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon | <anatomy> A fibrous, strong, connective tissue that connects muscle to bone. The laceration of a tendon can result in the inability to flex or extend at a joint. (13 Jan 1998) |
| tendon, achilles | One of the longest tendons in the body, the Achilles tendon (formally called the tendo achilles or the tendo calcaneus) is a tough sinew that attaches the calf muscle to the back of the heel bone (the calcaneus). According to greek mythology, achilles's mother held him as a baby by the heel and dipped him in the river styx to make him invulnerable but the heel by which she held him remained unimmersed and hence vulnerable, as paris' arrow in achilles' heel later proved. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tendon advancement | The excision of the tendon of an eye muscle and attachment of it to a more anterior location on the globe. (05 Mar 2000) |
