Detailed explanation-1: -A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ligaments. Strong ligaments (tough, elastic bands of connective tissue) surround the joint to give support and limit the joint’s movement. Ligaments connect bones together.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tendons connect your muscles to your bones at the following points: Musculotendinous junction (MTJ): The point where the tendon attaches to your muscle. Note this is a frequent site of injury. Osteotendinous junction (OTJ): The point where the tendon attaches to your bone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ligaments: Made of tough collagen fibers, ligaments connect bones and help stabilize joints. Tendons: Tendons connect muscles to bones.
