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
