MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ligaments connect bones together. Tendons. Tendons (another type of tough connective tissue) on each side of a joint attach to muscles that control movement of the joint. Tendons connect muscles to bones.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tough, fibrous, cord-like tissue that connects muscle to bone or another structure, such as an eyeball. Tendons help the bone or structure to move.

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: -Tendons and ligaments play an important role here, too: Tendons connect muscles to bones, allowing us to move, and ligaments help to hold things in place.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tissue that attaches bones to bones is called a ligament and the tissue that attaches muscles to bones is called a tendon.
