| patellar tendon reflex | A sudden contraction of the anterior muscles of the thigh, caused by a smart tap on the patellar tendon while the leg hangs loosely at a right angle with the thigh. Synonym: knee jerk, knee phenomenon, knee reflex, knee-jerk reflex, patellar tendon reflex, quadriceps reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |

| central tendon of diaphragm | A three-lobed fibrous sheet occupying the centre of the diaphragm. Synonym: centrum tendineum diaphragmatis, trefoil tendon. Central tendon of perineum, the fibromuscular mass between the anal canal and the urogenital diaphragm in the median plane; midline episiotomies extend into this structure. Synonym: centrum tendineum perinei, perineal body, Savage's perineal body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Golgi tendon organ | <cell biology, physiology> A proprioceptive sensory nerve ending embedded among the fibres of a tendon, often near the musculotendinous junction; it is compressed and activated by any increase of the tendon's tension, caused either by active contraction or passive stretch of the corresponding muscle. Synonym: neurotendinous organ, neurotendinous spindle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for tibialis posterior tendon | A broad groove on the posterior surface of the medial malleolus, through which the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle runs. Synonym: sulcus malleolaris, malleolar sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |

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) |
| muscle-tendon junction | 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) |
| cricoesophageal tendon | Longitudinal fibre of the oesophagus that attaches to the posterior aspect of the cricoid cartilage of the larynx. Synonym: tendo cricoesophageus, Gillette's suspensory ligament, suspensory ligament of oesophagus. (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) |
| 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) |
