Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tendons allow your body to move and give you flexibility. Aponeuroses give your body strength and stability. In addition, aponeuroses can act like another type of connective tissue called fascia. Fascia is fibrous tissue that wraps around and supports your muscles, organs and bones.

Detailed explanation-2: -A tendon serves to move the bone or structure. A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.

Detailed explanation-3: -A: aponeuroses are extensions of external tendons on the surface of pennate muscles that function as insertion sites for muscle fascicles and may play a role in modulating fascicle rotation and dynamic gearing during muscle contractions.
