Ligaments always hold bones to bones while tendons only hold muscles to bones.
The Patella is held in place by:
Quad Tendon
Patella Ligament
MPFL: Medial Patellofemoral Ligament
Lateral Retinaculum
joints ligaments and muscles!
Tendons
Quadriceps demoras tendon and femoropatellar joint
Bones are held together at the Joints, by a strong band called ligaments.
The bones are held together by strong, stretchy bands called ligaments.
cartilaginous joints or synchondrosis joints
Different types of joints are held together by different tissues types:Sutures and gomphoses are held together by dense fibrous connective tissue. Synchondroses are held together by hyaline cartilage.Symphyses are held together by fibrocartilage.Diarthroses or synovial joints, the most common type of joints, are held together by ligaments and joint capsules, which are made of dense fibrous connective tissue.

They are held together by ligaments.
Bones form the frame of the body. They are connected at various types of joints and are held together by connective tissue.
fibrous joint
The anterior intervertebral joints are secondary cartilaginous joints (symphysis) which are designed for strength and weight bearing.
The joints between the carpal bones are irregular synovial joints. The bones are held together more firmly by a relatively complex network of ligaments.
Bones form the frame of the body. They are connected at various types of joints and are held together by connective tissue.
Syndesmosis: Amphiarthrotic (meaning they slightly move), fibrous joint held together by ligaments. Ex: joints joining fibula and tibia Synchondrosis: Synarthrotic (meaning they do not move), cartilaginous joints held together by hyaline cartilage. Ex: epiphyseal plate
