FUNCTION: Connect bones to other bones; maintain position of organs.

$\Huge\bold{\underline{\underline{\purple{ Tendon}}}}$

A tendon or sinew is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments; both are made of collagen.

FUNCTION: Attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball.

$\Huge\bold{\underline{\red{ Difference?}}}$
