What is a tendon and how does it differ from an aponeurosis?

Question

and what are the parts of a typical muscle and explain each:).

Answer 1

A tendon is a tough cord made of closely packed white fibers of connective tissue that serves to attach muscles to internal structures such as bones or other muscles.Sometimes, when the muscle involved in the specific action is thin and wide, the tendon is not a cord but a thin sheet known as an aponeurosis.

Aponeuroses are membranes separating muscles from each other. They have a shiny, whitish-silvery color, and are histologically similar to tendons, but are very sparingly supplied with blood vessels and nerves.

Answer 2

Tendons connect muscles to their bony origins and insertions. Aponeuroses are layers of flat connective tissue (fascia) separating muscles from each other. I hope this helps :)
