No, ligaments do. Tendons are muscle extensions at its ends. Thus a structure bridging bones across a joint can be a muscle (obviously with tendinous ends), but not tendon itself. Tendons don't exist separately.

∙ 16y agoTendons do not attach smooth muscle to anything- smooth muscle is the type found in the stomach, intestines, etc. Tendons attach skeletal muscles to skeletal muscles, like the ones in your back, or attach skeletal muscles to bone, like at the elbow or fingertips. 'Tennis elbow' is an inflammmation of the tendon attachment on the inside of the elbow. The tendonitis associated with the outside of the elbow is commonly known as lateral tendonitis of the elbow.
