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.
