Transcript text: A flat, think structure made of dense connective tissue that serves to attach a muscle to a bone (or another muscle) is called a( n$) \ldots$ perimysium myolemma aponeurosis tendon

Solution

The answer is the fourth one (or D): tendon.

Explanation for each option:

Perimysium: This is the connective tissue that surrounds a bundle of muscle fibers, not a structure that attaches muscle to bone.
Myolemma: This term refers to the plasma membrane of a muscle cell, also known as the sarcolemma, and is not involved in attaching muscle to bone.
Aponeurosis: This is a flat, broad tendon-like structure that can attach muscles to bones or other muscles, but it is not the most common term used for this function.
Tendon: This is the correct term for a dense connective tissue structure that attaches muscle to bone.

Summary: A tendon is a flat, dense connective tissue structure that serves to attach a muscle to a bone or another muscle.
