Answer 2

A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.Tendons are the tough, flexible band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscles to bones.Tendons are part of smaller joints such as fingers and wrists as well as other joint areas. They keep your range of motion, like bending your wrist, to not bend too far. Tendons can become painful after years of use especially in areas we use a lot.



A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.Ligaments connect the ends of bones together in order to form a joint.Ligaments can take a lot of movement but do after years start losing their elasticity. This loss of stretch tends to make your joint have a cracking sound from bone on bone and may account for some joint pain in later years or a total joint replacement.
