Muscle and bone are connected by tendons, whereas bone and bone are connected by ligaments.

it is the shiznit No, it's not "the shiznit" Muscle is connected to a bone with ligaments.
No, there are some muscles that are not connected to any bones. These include such muscles as the heart, and the lip muscles.
Muscles are connected to bones by thick tissue called tendons. Tendons are a flexible but inelastic cord that connects muscle and bone.
Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. Ligaments hold joints together.
Only skeletal muscles are connected to bones. They don't attach directly to the bones, but are attached by tendons that emerge at the ends of the muscle groups or individual muscles. Smooth muscles are organ muscles, and cardiac muscle is specialized conductive muscle of the heart. Answer courtesy of gallop
the muscles are around or next to the bones, the contracting of muscles enables the bones to move. for example the muscles in your arm, when you move your arm up, the muscle underneath the bone contract (tighten) to push the bone upwards.
Very few, if any, skeletal muscles in the human body are not attached to bone at the origin or insertion. There are a few muscles which do not have 2 bony attachments, and instead are connected by tendinous sheaths to other muscles - the abdominal muscles come to mind. If we are talking all muscles, there are many - the heart, which is muscle, is not attached to bone. The smooth muscles in the vasculature, eyes, gut, esophagus, etc are not connected to bone. Depends on which muscle you mean. :) J. DeLaughter, DO
If you think about it, skeletal muscle are muscles that connect bones. So wherever you have bone, it is covered with skeletal muscle. Muscles do not connect bones. Muscles are the source for movement and protection for bones.

Skeletal muscles are connected to the bones via tendons.
