This image, from a section of decalcified bone, shows a tendon
inserting into the bone. The bone angles from the lower right to the upper left.
To the left are red-stained skeletal muscle cells.
Try to identify lamellar bone matrix and woven
bone matrix. Also find the periosteum. Note
the large bundles of collagen fibers in the bone matrix. They are continuous with
the collagen fibers of the tendon and help to anchor the tendon firmly into the
bone
