Aponeuroses are thick membranes that separate muscles from one another. They are tough and resilient. Tendons are similar, in both function and composition, only they serve to connect muscles to bones.

Answer:

An aponeurosis is functionally similar to a tendon because, like a tendon, it is connective tissue that attaches muscles to bones.
