ligament: a short band of tough, flexible, fibrous connective tissue that connects two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint.

tendon: a flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle to a bone.

A ligament attaches the bones to each other. But the tendon connects the muscle to the bone.

bones help move muscles
ligament is a band that makes bones stick together.

Brian B said...

Bones relate to muscles because the muscles are held by the bones and bones need muscles to move.A ligament is a tough band of tissue.And a tendon is a thick band of tissue.

ligonments are flexible and is made of tissue

a tendon is flexible but a long cord attaches it to the bone

Bones relate to muscles because they both make us move. Ligaments are bone to bone and tendons are bone to muscle.

bones relate to muscles because muscles help bones.

ligament;flexible
tendon;helps muscle bones

Bones relate to muscles because the bones are pretty much holding them in place. Tendons connect the muscles to your bones and the ligaments fix broken bones.

A way that muscles relate to bone is they both help support your body.The difference between ligament and tendons is ligament is a unifying or connecting tie or bond.And a tendon is the hamstring of a quadruped muscle.

Bones relate to muscles by the muscles and the bones help us move.
The difference between ligament and tendons are ligament is what holds your bones together and tendons are a tissue connecting the muscle to the bone.

bones relate to muscles because there are muscles attached to the bone.
ligaments hold joint together and tendons attach muscle to bones. :D

I think that bones relate to muscles in many ways. One way that bones and muscles relate would be that they help each other move. Also, the bones and muscle protect each other. The difference between a ligament and tendons is that a ligament is tough tissue that attaches your bones to each other. A tendon attaches a bone to muscle.

Ligaments and tendons are different. Ligaments are a tough band of flesh that hold joints together, but tendons are are a tough band of flesh that attaches bones to muscles.

Collin,S said...

THEY BOTH HELP HOLD UP THE FLESH. BONES HELP MOVE MUSCLES.LIGAMENTS ARE AROUND THE BONE. WHILE TENDONS ARE IN-BETWEEN THE BONES.

bones relate to muscles because muscels are held together by bones. Bones need muscles to move around, walk, and such.

ligament is tough band of tissues and a tendon is a thick ban of tissue.

Muscles relate to bones because the muscles that are attached to the bones help the bones move.A tendon is a flexible cord of strong tissue and a ligament connects bones to other bones to form a joint.

Answer- I think bones relate to muscles because they both support the body.
Ligament A short band of though, flexible, fibrous band connective tissue that connects two bones of cartilages or holds together a joint.
Tendon- A flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibours collegan tissue attaching a muscle to a bone.

The difference between ligaments and tendonds are a tendon is a flexible cord of strong tissue and a ligament connects bones to other bones to form a joint. Muscles relate to bones because muscles are attched to bones and the bones move.

Bones and muscles are attached to each other.
Ligaments attach bones together, tendons attach muscles to bones.

Dale Bourque is Awesome said...

Bones and muscules are attached
Ligametns attach bones together

Lucas T said...

I think that bones Relate to muscles because your muscles need to to be held up by bones and such.

Ian C. said...

I think that bones relate to muscles because if we didn't have muscles then our bones wouldn't move and without our muscles our bones would just fall apart.
The difference between ligaments and tendons is that tendons, keep your bones and muscles attached, you ligaments keep your bones and bones together.

Lucas T said...

Also bones and muscles are attached together

Cameron T. said...

Bones are attached to muscles. And Muscles help bones move. Ligaments surround joints. While tendons surround muscles.

Ronahn said...

Ligaments connect bones to bones where joints are. Tendons connect bones to muscles.

Grace B (-; said...

Ligaments surround muscles and tendons surround bones, otherwise they're pretty similar.

Aaron R said...

the muscles pull the bones to move. ligament hold the bones together and tendons attach the bones to the muscle.

Archer t said...

Bones are attached to muscles and the muscles wouldn't be able to move without the bones. Imagine a fish out of water then imagine the fish out of water, WITH a robotic leg.
Ligaments attach bones together, tendons attach the muscle to the bone.

Sarah M said...

Bones and muscles relate by muscles cover bones.
ligaments Hold bones together and tendons surround muscles.

Mason B said...

Bones relate to muscles because muscles attach to bones. Ligaments attach bones to bones and tendons attach muscles to bones.

matt c said...

bones relate to muscles because bones help you move just like muscles and ligaments are thing that are around your joints and tendons are around muscles.

Holly J said...

Muscle are around bones and also help the body move. Ligament connect bones to each other and tendons connect bones to muscles.

Spencer P. Shields said...

ligaments connect bones to each other. Tendons connect muscle to bones.

Kasey G. said...

Bones relate to muscle because they both help your body move, plus their connected to each other, literally. Ligaments connect bones to other bones, but tendons connect your muscles to your bones.

Bones relate to muscles because they can both be strong. the difference between ligaments, and tendons are endons can brake.....

The difference between Ligaments, and Tendons are Tendons can brake..

Connor P said...

Ligaments connect bones to each other, Tendons connect muscle to bones.

ligament a band of tough, flexible, fibrous connective tissue that connects 2 bones or cartilages or holds together a joint.

#1.The difference between tendon and ligament is electrical. Tendon carries electrical signal from the brain to the muscle, which mean tendon is a neuromuscular system. In other hand, ligament is a cushion between skeletal joints. Thus, ligament does not carry electrical signal from the brain.

#2.
Ligaments and tendons are both connective tissues in the body, and they are both made of stacked bundles of collagen fibrils. The difference between these two are what they connect, which then affects their functions.
Ligaments attach bone to bone; tendons attach muscle to bone.
Tendons, also called sinew, merge with both the periosteum, which the thin membrane covering the bone, and the fascia, which is the thin membrane covering the muscle fibers. This merger happens at the insertion point, a movable attachment, and origin, a stationary attachment. The insertion and origin are the points at which a particular tendon binds the bone it acts on and the muscle that acts on the tendon. Each muscle usually has two tendons, which bind to two different bones. The muscle also usually crosses the joint of the two tendon-bound bones so that contraction causes the tendon to pull and act on the bone for movement. Thus, the tendons carry tensile forces and act like a pulley on the bone.
Ligaments attach to bones by forming a capsular sac around articulating joints. Articulating joints are those that move and are also surrounded by synovial fluid, cartilage, and other connective tissues that protect the bone ends upon movement. The ligaments hold the bones together when the bones are acted on by tendons and also limit the extension of the bones being acted on, preventing, for example, 360 degree rotation. Each joint can have several ligaments to direct the movement of the bone when pulled on by the tendons and muscles.
These two tissues also have many similarities. One similarity is that ligaments and tendons have similar structures and compositions, including a layering of type I collagen fibrils, fibroblasts, and proteoglycan matrix. However, tendons contain more organized collagen (fibrous) and ligaments contain more proteoglycan matrix. Also, tendons contain elastin and have been suggested to act as springs with elasticity and not just as pulleys. A second similarity is that both tissues lack a good blood supply and do not heal well, often requiring surgery and hampering mobility if torn or injured. However, tendons can receive blood supply from the surrounding tissues and ligaments from the microvascularity at the insertion point. A third similarity is that both tissues act on joints to facilitate movement by muscles - the tendons are the pulley cord and the ligaments are the wheel. The ability of the tissues to perform their functions alters with health, age, mobility, and previous injury.
