Answer:
A tendon or sinew is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments; both are made of collagen. Ligaments join one bone to bone, while tendons connect muscle to bone for a proper functioning of the body.

Collagen molecules. Collagen is the major protein in both tendons and ligaments, accounting for approximately 75% of the dry weight. The remainder of the weight is composed of other non-collagenous matrix proteoglycans and glycoproteins, the fibrous protein elastin and cellular proteins.
