Question

Tendons connect
A. A muscle with a muscle
B. A muscle with a bone
C. A bone with another bone
D. A bone with a ligament

Answer 1

Hint: A tendon or sinew refers to a tough band of fibrous connective tissue. It connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons and ligaments are very similar, as both are made of collagen. They differ as Ligaments connect one bone to another, while tendons connect muscle to bone.
Tendons are a type of connective tissue that is strong with limited flexibility.

Complete answer:
> Option (A)-muscle with a muscle
Muscle work pairs. There are two types of muscles in a pair. One is the working muscle, called the prime mover or agonist (it's in agony!) and the other is the relaxing muscle, called the antagonist. The other example of the main pair of muscle that works together is the quadriceps and hamstrings.

> Option (B)- muscle with a bone
A muscle is connected to a bone through a tendon or sinew. It is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue. They are made up of collage and are capable of withstanding tension.

> Option (C) A bone with another bone
A bone is connected to another bone through a ligament. It is the fibrous connective tissue also known as articular ligament, articular laura, fibrous ligament, or true ligament.

< Option (D)- A bone with a ligament
The interface between a ligament and a bone is termed as the osseous junction. This junction does not form an abrupt split but rather a gradual change between tissues.

Hence, The correct answer is option (B).

Note: Tendons are located at each end of a muscle and attach muscle to bone. Tendons are located throughout the body, from the head and neck all the way down to the feet. The largest tendon in the body is Achilles which attaches the calf muscle to the heel bone.
