Differentiate betwen ligament and tendons

Both tendons and ligaments are fibrous tissues designed to connect parts of your body. This tissue is tougher and less flexible for tendons and stringier and more elastic for ligaments. However, both tendons and ligaments require some degree of flexibility to accommodate movement; rigid tendons and ligaments would prevent basic body movements.When tendons and ligaments are stretched beyond their basic capacity, they become damaged. For tendons, this can result in tendonitis, which occurs when the tendon becomes torn. This damage causes the tissue of the tendon to inflame while it heals; as a result, tendonitis causes swelling and soreness, as well as temporary loss of muscle function.Ligaments also suffer damage when stretched beyond their limits. As with tendons, this can result in tears of the tissue. Ligament tears weaken the joint and threaten its integrity. For example, tears of the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, in a person's knee are fairly common among athletes. This tear destabilizes the knee, and requires many months, and sometimes surgery, to heal.

LIGAMENT...
example of a ligament is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)...
1)Ligament is a fibrous connective tissues which attaches bone to bone...
2)it helps them to hold structure together and keep them stable......
3)~~~~They are elastic
*4)****Connect ends of the bones only at joints
5)Usually many ligaments per joints
6)Proteoglycan content is more than tendons
7)Ligaments are yellow in colour
8)The fibroblasts of ligaments are scattered
9)Blood supply comparatively poor
10)they are stronger than tendons.
#######Both are dense-granular connective tissues.
#####Both composed of living cells.
ñ##### Both contain plenty of collagens.
TENDONS..
example of a tendon is the Achilles tendon...
1)***Tendons are also fibrous connective tissue which connects/attaches muscle to bone
2)~~~~Tendons are cord-like, strong, inelastic structures
3)Usually only one tendon per muscle
4)Collagen content is more than ligaments
5)Proteoglycan content is less than ligaments
6)Tendons are white in colour
7)The fibroblasts of tendons lie in continuous raw
8)Have heavy blood supply
9)Connect ends of the muscles to any place of the bone
10)they are comparatively weaker than tendon
***** The strength of tendons in resisting pulls is said to be ‘equal to at least half that of the bones******
