Distinguish between tendons and ligament?
Tendons join muscles to bones in the body, whereas ligaments join bones to each other. The term ligament is also used loosely in medical anatomy to mean various types of suspensory structures, such as the broad ligament of the uterus which isn't really a ligament at all, rather a double-fold of the peritoneum.
How do ligaments help you move?
Ligaments join bone to bone to make joints more stable.Ligaments attach bone to bone (tendons attach muscle to bone). An easy way to remember this is: Little Billy Barry Took My Mercedes Benz.
How are ligaments and cartilage functionally similar in joints?
No, tendons are not the same as ligaments. Unfortunately, I was absent a long time ago when my class learned about that. So here is something:People often talk about tendons and ligaments as if they are the same thing, but these two types of soft tissue actually perform different functions for the body.A tendon connects muscle to bone. These tough, yet flexible, bands of fibrous tissue attach to the skeletal muscles that move your bones. Tendons essentially enable one to move since they act as intermediaries between the muscles creating the motion of the bones.I'd say the most famous tendon is the Achilles tendon (named after the character Brad Pitt played in the movie Troy) which connects the muscles of your calf to your heel. Also, if you watch the tops of your hands while you type, you can see your tendons at work. Pretty cool, huh?So what's a ligament? If you want to know then read moreLigaments are similar to tendons, but they connect bone to bone and help to stabilize joints. They are composed mostly of long, stringy collagen fibers creating short bands of tough fibrous connective tissue.Ligaments are slightly elastic, so they can be stretched to gradually lengthen increasing flexibility. Athletes and dancers stretch their ligaments to make their joints more supple, and to prevent injury.Here's a cool fact: The term double-jointed refers to people who have more elastic ligaments.You might have heard of some of the ligaments found in the knee since they often tear, especially the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) when skiing. In fact four ligaments connect the tibia (shin bone) to the femur (thigh bone) to provide structure for the knee.
What do surface markings on bones indicate?
The five types of surface markings on bones are, elevations and projections (general), processes formed where tendons or ligaments attach, processes formed for articulation with adjacent bones, depressions, and openings.
What types of tissues make up the skeletal system?
the tissues in the skeletal system are *bones *cartilage *ligaments
What does a ligament connect?
There are three types of ligaments.Articular ligaments: Fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones. They are sometimes called "articular larua, "fibrous ligaments", or "true ligaments".Peritoneal ligaments: A fold of peritoneum or other membranes.Fetal remnant ligaments: The remnants of a tubular structure from the fetal period of life.The first term is the one most commonly intended when using the word "ligament". This article briefly handles peritoneal and fetal remnant ligaments before focusing on articular legments
What is muscles that attached to the bones?
Our bodies have different types of tissues that are used to connect all of our different parts.Bones are connected to other bones by special tissues called "ligaments." But when bones are connected to muscles, the special tissues are called "tendons."
What runs adjacent to the muscle in your arm?
There are several muscles in your arms along with tendons, ligaments, various types of blood vessels and bones.

Skeletal Muscles.

Facial muscles attach where?
They attach to the facial bones, just as all the other muscles in the body attach to bone. They are there to act on the bones and cause movement. An exception to that would be the cardiac muscle, among a few others, but they don't occur on the face.
How a muscles attach to a bones?
Musclesare connected tobonesby tendons, whereas bones are connected to bonesby ligaments.Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the control of the somatic nervous system ; that is to say, it is voluntarily controlled. It is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac and smooth muscle . As their name suggests, most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons .
How are connective tissue types different?
Tendons connect muscle to bone whereas Ligaments connect bones to other bones.
The main organs of the muscular system?
The major organs of the Muscular System are the muscles. The 3 types of muscles are the smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscles.
