Uberon Homology note : Phylogenetically, tendinous tissue first appears in the invertebrate chordate Branchiostoma
as myosepta. This two-dimensional array of collagen fibers is highly organized, with
fibers running along two primary axes. In hagfish the first linear tendons appear
and the myosepta have developed specialized regions with unidirectional fiber orientation
- a linear tendon within the flat sheet of myoseptum.[well established][VHOG];
