Tendons connect:
AMuscle to bone (transmit muscle force)
BBone to bone (stabilise joints)
CMuscle to muscle (across surfaces)
DSkin to bone (anchor surface tissues)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Muscle to bone (transmit muscle force)
TENDONS connect MUSCLE TO BONE (e.g., Achilles tendon: calf muscle to heel bone). LIGAMENTS connect bone to bone across joints (e.g., ACL in knee). Both made mainly of COLLAGEN (dense connective tissue).
