Tendons versus Ligaments
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A tendon connects muscle to bone and transmits contractile force across a joint; a ligament connects bone to bone and stabilizes the joint against excess movement.
Show
The Achilles tendon transmits calf force to the heel; the anterior cruciate ligament stabilizes the knee.
Watch for
A torn ligament and a torn tendon fail differently — one loses stability, the other loses pulling force.
