Ligaments are tough bands of connective tissue that hold bones together at joints. They provide stability and help prevent excessive movement that could lead to injury.
Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that is flexible and rubbery, fat tissue stores energy and helps cushion and insulate the body, tendons are tough bands of connective tissue that connect muscle to bone, and ligaments are fibrous bands of connective tissue that connect bone to bone and provide stability to joints.
An example of a tough connective tissue is a tendon.
Strong ligaments (tough, elastic bands of connective tissue) surround the joint to give support and limit the joint's movement. Ligaments connect bones together. Tendons. Tendons (another type of tough connective tissue) on each side of a joint attach to muscles that control movement of the joint.
A broad, flattened, dense connective tissue is known as a tendon. Tendons are tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect muscle to bone, providing support and transmitting the force generated by the muscle to the bone to produce movement.
The connective tissue that holds together movable joints is called ligaments. Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bones to each other and help stabilize and support the joint during movement.
At the ankle, the bands of connective tissue that help anchor muscle tendons are known as the retinaculum. At the wrist, the bands of connective tissue that serve a similar function are called the flexor and extensor retinaculum. These structures assist in holding tendons in place and provide stability during movement.
The ligaments are the bands of tissue that connect bones to each other. Ligaments are made up of connective tissue and are similar to tendons. The connective tissue that makes them up is tough, flexible and fibrous. They are made up of collagen fibres. Weight for weight they are as strong as steel wires. Tendons are also strong elastic bands of tissue, but they connect bones to muscle within a joint.
connective tissue or tendons (tough bands of muscles). Most muscles are attached behind the bone to the joint. Hope it helped :3
