How are bones conected to other bones?
ligaments
What are the things that join the bones?
a joint or a tendon or a ligament can join the bone with other bone or with a muscle
What do tendons link together?
Muscle FibersTendons connect muscles to bones. Not to be confused with ligaments, which connect bones to other bones.Tendons are fibrous connective tissue that are made of collagen. They most commonly connect muscles to bones. The strongest tendon in the human body is the Achilles tendon.
What is the difference between muscles and tendons?
Muscles contract to facilitate movement. Tendons attach muscles to bones. Ligaments attach bones to other bones.
What is the difference between an aponeurosis and a tendon?
They are basically the same thing......connecting muscles to bones but tendons are cord-like and aponeurosis is sheetlike.Describe the difference between a tendon and an aponeurosis
Can you live without a tendon?
Tendon attaches muscle to bone. They sometimes have to be removed or operated on. A person can live with a tendon removed.
How are tendons associated with the muscular system?
It is the tough, fibrous tendons that actually attach the muscle to the bones of the skeleton. Generally, tendons attach to at least two different bones to create a lever for the muscles to act upon - the tendons at one end of the muscle belly being attached to one bone, and at the other end, the tendon/s attaches to the other bone. The fibrous tissue surrounding the muscle is all continuous with the tendon at each end.
What are the tough connective bands that connect the bones?
ligaments
What attaches bones to bones and joints to bones?
Ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia, cartilage and skin all play a part in securing bones to bones and muscles to bones. However, most bones are connected to other bones by ligaments, and muscles are connected to bones by tendons.Ligament attaches bones to bones. Tendon attaches muscle to bones.
What is the function of tendon?

Distinguish between tendons and ligament?
Tendons join muscles to bones in the body, whereas ligaments join bones to each other. The term ligament is also used loosely in medical anatomy to mean various types of suspensory structures, such as the broad ligament of the uterus which isn't really a ligament at all, rather a double-fold of the peritoneum.
What are fibrous bands that connect muscle to bones?
A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone. A tendon is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments and fascia as they are both made of collagen, except that ligaments join one bone to another bone, and fascia connect muscles to other muscles. Tendons and muscles work together and can only exert a pulling force. At each end of a muscle, the collagen fibers come together to form a bundle of fibers called a tendon that attaches them to bones. If it forms a broad tendinous sheet it is called an aponeurosis.
