How to use "Sinewy" in context?
Sinewy refers to a muscle or tendon that is strong and durable. Muscles and tendons are made up of fiber, a dense tissue composed mainly of protein. Each fiber is surrounded by a sheath of non-cellular padding called membranes. When the muscle is contracted, the tension on the fiber pulls on the membranes, which causes them to elongate. The elongation of the membrane spreads the blood supply inside the sheath to the muscle, which results in an increase in blood flow and a muscle contraction.
