In both cases, dense fibrous connective tissue connects the tendon/ligament to the periosteum and there is no evidence of (fibro)cartilage differentiation (Fig. 1a, b).

Detailed explanation-3: -A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects two bones to form a joint. These are all found in the skeletal system of the human body. The ligaments provide joint stability. Their primary function is to prevent movement that might damage a joint.
