A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone, or muscle to muscle. They are similar to ligaments except that ligaments join one bone to another. Tendons are designed to withstand tension. Typically tendons connect muscles to bones; together, a combination of tendons and muscles can only exert a pulling force.

Not positive ,but maybe put you on the right track.
The interaction of muscle , bone, and tendons(which connect muscle to bone) interact to set up a leverage system.
A third class lever (third gear?) provides speed , but not much strength. Your bicep would be an example. A second class lever (2nd gear?) provides equal speed ans power. The knee is an example(?). I dont believe the human body has any levers of the 3rd class (mostly power vs speed).
