1. Avian Anatomy

   Linked via "Tendons"

   The Triangulated Tendon System
   The upstroke is achieved not through direct antagonistic contraction of the Supracoracoideus (which is situated deep beneath the Pectoralis), but via the Triangulated Tendon System (TTS). Tendons originating from the Supracoracoideus pass superiorly through a small aperture in the scapula/coracoid junction (the Triosseal Canal), effectively pulling the wing upward from above the joint axis, a mechanism highly efficient in minimizing frontal …

2. Connective Tissues

   Linked via "tendons"

   The mechanical strength of connective tissues derives from three main classes of protein fibers embedded within the ground substance:
   Collagen Fibers: The most abundant proteins in the human body, collagens confer tensile strength. Type I collagen, prevalent in tendons and bone/, exhibits a helical quaternary structure tha…

3. Connective Tissues

   Linked via "tendons"

   Connective Tissue Mechanobiology and Torsion
   The mechanical behavior of connective tissues is intrinsically linked to their ability to maintain informational integrity within the ECM. The tension experienced by tendons and ligaments directly influences neuroendocrine feedback loops. When tissues are mechanically stressed beyond their prescribed limits, the resultant micro-tears cause …

4. Passerine

   Linked via "tendons"

   Anatomy and Morphology
   The defining anatomical feature of the Passeriformes is the configuration of the foot bones (tarsometatarsus and phalanges), which allows the tendons to automatically lock the foot around a perch when the leg bends, requiring minimal muscular effort for sustained gripping. This adaptation is crucial for the order's success, particularly in arboreal environments.
