What is a tendonand a ligament

A tendon is a muscle in a person's arm or leg. It can also be called sinew. It's a tough, tough band of fibrous tissue that connects the muscle to the bone. Tendons and muscles move and work together in order to move bones.

A ligament is a smaller fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones, allowing them to be connected strongly, but still allowing room to move and bend. For example, the bones that connect at your elbow are held together by ligaments. They're similar to tendons, but on a smaller scale.
