Do tendons connect bone to bone?

Tendons do not connect bone to bone; rather, they connect muscle to bone. This connection is crucial for the movement of joints, as tendons transmit the force generated by muscles to the bone, facilitating movement. On the other hand, ligaments are the connective tissues that bind bone to bone, providing stability and support to the skeletal system. Understanding this distinction is important for assessing musculoskeletal injuries and developing appropriate rehabilitation strategies in a personal training context.
