GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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: -Ligaments, tendons, the inner layer of the skin, and the sclera (the white outer layer of the eye) are all types of dense connective tissue. Also called fibrous connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dense connective tissue is what makes up tendons and ligaments and consist of a higher density of collagen fibers. Examples of specialized connective tissues are adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, blood, and lymph.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ligaments form from thick bundles of connective tissue, mainly forming from collagen. Despite their density, ligaments can still be fairly elastic. Ligaments need to be strong as they connect bones together, and hold joints in place.
