Question

state the difference between tendon and ligament

Answer 1

Answer:

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. A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable

Answer 2

Answer:Tendons are tough bands and attach muscles to bones. when a muscle contracts tendon exerts a pulling force on the attached bone, which moves as a result.

Ligaments are strong but flexible bands and join one bone to another at joints. they prevent dislocation of bones at joint.
