What is another word for tendon?
Pronunciation: [tˈɛndən] (IPA) 
Tendons are classified among the most vital connective tissues in the human anatomy responsible for connecting muscle tissues to bones. They play a crucial role in facilitating body movements. In medicine, tendons are often referred to as sinew or fibrous cords. The terms ligament and tendon are often used interchangeably, but they infer two different types of connective tissues as ligaments connect bones to bones and tendons connect muscles to bones. Furthermore, other synonyms for the term tendon can include cord, rope, and band. Although generally unseen, tendons are essential for human mobility and are frequently subject to injury and strain, necessitating medical attention at times.
