difference between tendons and ligaments
1.Ligaments connect bones to bones while tendons connect bones to muscles. 2.Ligaments are further classified into three categories while tendons do not have any classifications. 3.Both ligaments and tendons are fibrous structures which are flexible and have enough strength to hold the structures.
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.
