Tendons and ligaments are both types of connective tissue in the body, but they serve different functions and have different structures.
Tendons:
1. Tendons are fibrous cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones. They are responsible for transmitting the force generated by muscles to move the bones.
2. Tendons are composed primarily of collagen fibers, which are arranged in parallel bundles to provide strength and flexibility.
3. Tendons are relatively inelastic and are able to withstand high levels of tension.
4. Tendons are found throughout the body, connecting muscles to bones in joints such as the shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle.
Ligaments:
1. Ligaments are fibrous bands of tissue that connect bones to other bones in a joint. They provide stability and support to the joint by limiting excessive movement.
2. Ligaments are also composed of collagen fibers, but they are arranged in a more complex, crisscross pattern to provide strength in multiple directions.
3. Ligaments are more elastic than tendons, allowing them to stretch and recoil to accommodate movement in the joint.
4. Ligaments are found in joints such as the knee, ankle, and wrist, where they help to prevent dislocation and provide support during movement.

Tendon
- Connects muscle to bone
- Made of tough, fibrous connective tissue (collagen)
- Allows muscles to exert force on bones
- Allows for movement at joints
Ligament
- Connects bone to bone
- Made of dense, inelastic connective tissue (elastin)
- Stabilizes and supports joints
- Prevents excessive movement at joints
