Tendons and Ligaments and Muscles, oh my!

All of your joints have these three very important parts of tissue; tendons, ligaments, and muscles. 
They all contribute to you being able to move efficiently, without pain, and without injury. Even though they all look similar, they have different and equally important functions. 

Ligaments: tissues that link one bone to another, and even hold organs in place. 

Muscles: tissues that attach bone to bone and are responsible for contraction and extension of bones. 

Tendons: fibrous tissues that connect bone to muscle.
