Tendon

A tough band of tissue that attaches bones to muscles
Real World Example
Imagine trying to move a heavy piece of furniture across a room, but it's too large and awkward to grip directly. Just like using a sturdy rope to attach and pull the furniture with ease and precision, tendons serve as the crucial connectors that attach your muscles to your bones, allowing for smooth and controlled movement. In this analogy, the rope represents the tendons, the furniture symbolizes your bones, and your arms pulling the rope are like the muscles contracting to move the bones.
