Connective tissue (joints, ligaments, etc.)
ligaments.
cartilage
Ligaments hold bone to bone in a movable joint. In contrast, tendons hold muscle to bone. Ligaments are made of dense fibrous connective tissue. Ligaments also hold our bones in place and support the organs.
cartilage
Bones form the frame of the body. They are connected at various types of joints and are held together by connective tissue.
ligaments
fibrous synchondrosis
Different types of joints are held together by different tissues types:Sutures and gomphoses are held together by dense fibrous connective tissue. Synchondroses are held together by hyaline cartilage.Symphyses are held together by fibrocartilage.Diarthroses or synovial joints, the most common type of joints, are held together by ligaments and joint capsules, which are made of dense fibrous connective tissue.

fibrous connective tissue that holds joints together
Synarthrosis joints are immovable joints connected by tough, fibrous connective tissue, whereas Amphiarthrosis Joints are partially movable joints with cartilage between their articular surfaces.
