The tendons serve such a similar purpose. By definition, a tendon (which is also known as sinew) is a tough fibrous connective tissue, which is like a band that connects a muscle to a bone. The tendon is built to withstand tension.These are similar to, but not to be confused with ligaments, which connect or join one bone to another.endons are an important feature of the skeletal system in the human body. They are very important in the sense that their functions are observed to be very strong, and many of the other parts of the system are dependent on the tendons to make sure that their functions are processed and performed properly.
