Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tendon sheaths are specialized structures located around tendons that act as friction-reducing structures. They are lined with synovial membrane, which produces synovial fluid that lubricates the movement of the tendon within the sheath. Tendon sheaths are not extensions of periosteum, do not help anchor the tendon to the muscle, and are not lined with dense irregular connective tissue.
