 | | Aponeuroses are flattened or ribbon-shaped tendons, of a pearly white color, iridescent, glistening, and similar in structure to the tendons. |
 | | The tendons and aponeuroses are connected, on the one hand, with the muscles, and, on the other hand, with the movable structures, as the bones, cartilages ligaments, and fibrous membranes (for instance, the sclera). |
 | | Where the muscular fibers are in a direct line with those of the tendon or aponeurosis, the two are directly continuous. |
