No, there is not much ground substance present in a tendon.
Other structures that are composed of dense, regular connective tissue include ligaments, which connect bones to other bones, and aponeuroses, which attach muscles to bones or other muscles.
The function of this type of tissue is to provide strength and support to the structures it connects. It allows for the transmission of forces generated by muscles to bones, enabling movement and providing stability to joints.
