Dendrites do not attach to muscles; rather, they are the branching extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons. In the context of muscle contraction, motor neurons transmit electrical signals through their axons, which connect to muscle fibers at neuromuscular junctions. The neurotransmitter released at these junctions stimulates the muscle fibers to contract. Thus, dendrites play a crucial role in receiving signals that ultimately lead to muscle activation.
Ligament attaches bone to bone tendon attaches muscle to bone
Dendrites are attaches to the axon terminals of other neurons. The nerve impulse travel from other neurons into the corresponding neuron via dendrites.
No, a tendon attaches a muscle to bone. A ligament attaches a bone to another bone.

Tendons
Tendons attach muscles to bones. An example is the Achilles tendon that attaches your calf muscle (gastrocnemius) to the bones in your foot.
