It s the long tendinous fibers that propel the animal forward . 4. It is surrounded by a tendinous , solid, and elastic ring. 5. Tendinous fibers extend to the greater tubercle with insertions into the bicipital groove.6. Frequently, it sends a tendinous slip to the short muscles of the thumb. 7. The tendinous intersections define the anatomy of the rectus abdominis and assist with physiological movement. 8. -Other tendinous tissues known to express Tnmd are the diaphragm and chordae tendineae cordis. 9. The absence of the tendinous plexus layer was first described in 1998 by Meier-Ruge. 10.
