In anatomy, a vinculum (pl.

vincula) is a band of connective

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

tissue, similar to a ligament, that

connect a flexor tendon to a

phalanx bone. They contain tiny

vessels which supply blood to the

tendon.[1] In vertebrate

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

anatomy, they are referred to as

mesotendons.

These vincula are four folds in
