Human Anatomy: Unit 2 Notes

Certain tendons, like those in the wrist and ankle are enclosed in tubes called “tendon sheaths” for protection and to allow it to slide more easily. An “aponeurosis” is a broad flat tendon that looks like a sheet of white tissue. Histology: Fig. 8.2. Skeletal muscle is composed of long cylindrical cells called muscle fibers (myofibers). ................
