What thing connect tissue to bone?
Ligaments connect bone to bone. They are white, slightly elastic, and more flexible than tendons. Ligaments bind bone to bone to form joints. Tendons connect muscle to bone or in the case of aponeurosis, binds muscle to muscle.
What is dense connective tissue?
Dense connective tissue forms strong, rope-like structures such as tendons and ligaments. Tendons attach skeletal muscles to bones; ligaments connect bones to bones at joints. Ligaments are more stretchy and contain more elastic fibers than tendons.
Why are ligaments harder to heal than tendons?
Ligaments have poorer blood supply than tendons, and are often subjected to greater stress/force because of the fact that they span a joint. from nelson physical education vce units 1&2
Compare and contrast tendons and ligaments?

Are tendons part of the skeletal system?
Yes. A system implies more than one organ. In this case, this includes bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilages.
Why do ligaments and tendons recover slowly if injured?
Ligaments are said to be hypovascular structures, which in plain English means they do not receive much blood. The slow healing of ligaments is thought to be secondary to this characteristic. In the words of former pro football player and later actor Alex Karras: "Ligaments don't heal". That is a bit of an overstatement - but not much.
What is a connective tissue more flexible than bone called?

Does hard soil tire out a horses tendons?

The bones are held together by elastic tissues called?
in human physiology they are called muscles then you have muscle to bone which are tendons than you have bone to bone which are ligaments but bones are probably in your case held together by...|skeletal muscle|
