Best Answer

Some people confuse tendons with ligaments. The Musculoskeletal System includes the bones, the ligaments, the tendons, and the muscles. When split up, the ligaments are not part of the Muscular System because they connect bones to bones or bones to joints, which the bones and joints are only part of the Skeletal System. People confuse the ligaments as being part of the Muscular System because the tendons connect bones tom muscles, so tendons are part of the Skeletal and Muscular Systems, but ligaments are not.
