Answer:

Tendon connects our muscles to our bones.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension.

Tendons are similar to ligaments and fasciae; all three are made of collagen.

Ligaments join one bone to another bone; fasciae connect muscles to other muscles.

Tendons and muscles work together to move bones.

The tendon is the part of the muscle that connects directly to the bone.
