| Abstract | Tendons are parallel arrays of collagenous fibres which are specialised to resist and transmit tensile stresses. The response of tendon fibres to tensile stress is age-dependent and complex. Elastic elongation at low stress is accompanied by the disappearance of alternate light and dark bands seen in transmitted polarised light. This region of the stress/strain curve is associated with straightening of fibre 'crimps'. At higher stress, elongation is still elastic and reversible until break point is reached. This behaviour may be associated with straightening of a helical arrangement of collagen fibrils. In addition to the collagen fibrils, there are transverse and longitudinal proteoglycan filaments, many of which bridge and link between the fibrils. We have investigated the effect of various levels of stress from very low up to breaking point on the appearance of the proteoglycan filaments and their relationships with the collagen fibrils. Proteoglycan-collagen fibril interactions in rat and mouse tail and flexor digitorum tendons were visualised by Cupromeronic blue staining, applied to dissected fibres in the resting state and at stresses up to breaking. Proteoglycan filaments were seen to be orthogonally arranged in every D period, probably at the d band in mature tendons. In immature tendons proteoglycan filaments took up more varied orientations, but were mainly orthogonal or axially arranged with respect to the collagen fibrils. Both pictures appeared unchanged after application of stress of any level up to breaking point. Young tendons ruptured at lower stresses than mature tendons. It is suggested that PG bridges between collagen fibrils play a part in transmitting and resisting tensile stresses in tendons, contributing to the strength of the tissue. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
