PATHOLOGY

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: -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-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: -Articular ligaments Ligaments connect bones to other bones to form joints, while tendons connect bone to muscle.

Detailed explanation-5: -(3) A syndesmosis is a joint in which a ligament connects two bones, allowing for a little movement (amphiarthroses). The distal joint between the tibia and fibula is an example of a syndesmosis. Cartiliginous Joints. Joints that unite bones with cartilage are called cartilaginous joints.
