Ligaments join bones to bones. They are tough, fibrous tissues that help to stabilize and support the joints by connecting one bone to another.
Bones are tough due to their composition of collagen fibers and mineral deposits, primarily calcium and phosphate. These components provide strength and flexibility, allowing bones to withstand pressure and impact without breaking easily. Additionally, the structure of bones, with the outer layer being compact bone and an inner trabecular network, contributes to their toughness.
The two hip bones are joined at the anterior junction by a cartilaginous joint called the pubic symphysis. This joint allows for slight movement between the two hip bones and provides stability to the pelvis.
The structure that joins the skeletal muscle to the bone is called a tendon. Tendons are tough, fibrous cords that connect muscle to bone and help facilitate movement.
Ligaments are tough connective tissues that hold bones together at joints. They provide stability and support to the joint by connecting bone to bone.
