Johtojänteeseen

Johtojänteeseen is a Finnish term that translates to "tendon" in English. In anatomy, a tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone. They are strong and flexible, allowing for the transmission of force from contracting muscles to the skeleton, enabling movement. Tendons are composed primarily of collagen, a protein that provides strength and structure. They play a crucial role in locomotion, posture, and a wide range of bodily functions. Injuries to tendons, such as tears or inflammation (tendinitis), can be painful and significantly impair mobility. Rehabilitation often involves rest, physical therapy, and sometimes surgical intervention. The study and understanding of tendons are fundamental in fields like orthopedics, sports medicine, and biomechanics.
