Understanding Tendon Structure and Function
Tendons, being fiber composites made of collagen fibers surrounded by soft matrices, exhibit complex strain behaviors. The Intraphesicular Matrix (IFM) plays a crucial role in how tendons stretch and recover, with experiments showing differential strain capabilities between whole tendons and their fascicles. The IFM, with its gel-like consistency, contains proteoglycans that aid in lubricated sliding between fibers, contributing to tendon's ability to stretch and recoil.
