Tenocytes synthesize collagens and proteoglycans. Collagen is organized in triple helical polypeptide chains, and collagen fibrils are formed from collagen microfibrils. Collagen fibrils are connected and wrapped with endotenon. A fiber bundle is an aggregate of collagen fibers. Aggregates of these fiber bundles are wrapped with epitenon and paratenon, and these are named tendon and ligament.
