Given below are two statements.

Statement I: Tendons connect muscle to bone.

Statement II: Tendons are composed of muscle tissue.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.

Tendons are dense regular connective tissues that connect muscles to bones, providing stability and transmitting the force generated by muscle contractions to move bones and joints.
While tendons are indeed composed of connective tissue, they do not belong to muscle tissue. Tendons are distinct from muscle tissue, which is composed of muscle fibers (cells) that contract to generate force. Connective tissue serves to connect and support various structures in the body, including tendons, ligaments, and bones.
