Detailed Structure of Mineralizing Tendon

In particular, the gastrocnemius, or Achilles tendon structure of the domestic turkey and manner of mineralization tendon have been described 

On the other hand, as noted above, the mineralization of the turkey gastrocnemius has been studied extensively. Mineral deposition appears to involve two distinct components of the tendon type I collagen and small vesicles that are found in the extracellular spaces between the collagen fibrils organized in long, parallel, and highly aligned arrays.
