Tendon Vs Ligament ✅

🦴 TENDON

→ Connects muscle to bone
→ Made of dense, parallel collagen fibers (very strong, low elasticity)
→ Transfers force generated by muscle contraction to bone
→ Enables movement at joints
→ Poor blood supply → heals slowly when injured
→ Examples: Achilles tendon, biceps tendon

🦴 LIGAMENT

→ Connects bone to bone
→ Made of collagen fibers with slight elasticity
→ Provides joint stability and alignment
→ Prevents excessive or abnormal joint movement
→ More elastic than tendons, but still strong
→ Examples: ACL, PCL, medial collateral ligament

⭐ KEY DIFFERENCE TO REMEMBER

→ Tendon = Movement (muscle pulls bone)
→ Ligament = Stability (bone holds bone)
