MP Board · Class 9 · Science · TissuesDistinguish between a tendon and a ligament in terms of their connection and flexibility.

Tendons and ligaments are dense fibrous connective tissues. A tendon connects a skeletal muscle to a bone, possessing high fibrous strength with limited flexibility, allowing the transfer of muscular force to move bones. On the other hand, a ligament connects one bone to another bone at a joint, possessing considerable elasticity and high strength to stabilize joint structures.
