ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.

Detailed explanation-2: -At fibrous entheses, the tendon or ligament attaches either directly to the bone or indirectly to it via the periosteum. 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: -There are four classes of connective tissues: BLOOD, BONES, CARTILAGE and CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER. They are further subdivided into subclasses and types: I want you to be able to identify all the different types of Connective tissues as well as learn their locations in the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Joint. A joints is the point where two bones join together. It is usually formed of fibrous connective tissue and cartilage.

Detailed explanation-5: -A ligament is an elastic band of tissue that connects bone to bone and provides stability to the joint. Cartilage is soft, gel-like padding between bones that protects joints and facilitates movement.
