Question

Ian experiences pain in his leg after a fall, so he goes to the doctor. After an exam, the doctor explains to Ian that he has injured a piece of tissue that connects his leg muscle to bone. What piece of tissue is the doctor describing?

Answer 1

Tendon or a connective tissue

Step-by-step explanation:

Tendons are a type of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bones. They are strong, fibrous and flexible. They also attach muscles to other organs. Tendons have a high tensile strength which is useful to withstand muscle contractions. They are made up of bundles of connective tissue that contribute to its strength.
