Copied note from NTR 3209: Note that some tendons use part of and some use attached to. I'm not sure which applies. The most recent tendon addition to uberon (tendon of semitendinosus UBERON:8480009) uses attached to with Equivalent to "tendon and attached to RO some semintendinosus". I see that muscle insertion is also a relationship option, but don't see it being used for the newest tendons.
