APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ligaments often connect two bones together, particularly in the joints: Like strong, firmly attached straps or ropes, they stabilize the joint or hold the ends of two bones together. This ensures that the bones in the joint don’t twist too much or move too far apart and become dislocated.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ligaments. Strong ligaments (tough, elastic bands of connective tissue) surround the joint to give support and limit the joint’s movement. Ligaments connect bones together.

Detailed explanation-5: -The human body has more than 900 ligaments that help connect bones, joints and organs and hold them in place. A ligament can be overstretched or torn, called a sprain. Sprains are a common injury, but you can take several steps to keep your ligaments healthier and safer.
