Which muscle tissue connects bone to bone and muscle to bone?
Tendons connect muscle to bone. Ligaments connect bones to other bones. Both are types of connective tissue. Tendons are extensions of the fibrous tissue between the muscle bundles. Ligaments are made mostly of collagen fibers, giving them a little more flexibility that tendons.
Which type of tissue forms bones tendons and ligaments?
Bone is made of compact bone tissue and spongy bone tissue and also nerve cells from the spinal column.
What are the fibrous bands that attach bone to bone called?
The ligaments are the bands of tissue that connect bones to each other. Ligaments are made up of connective tissue and are similar to tendons. The connective tissue that makes them up is tough, flexible and fibrous. They are made up of collagen fibres. Weight for weight they are as strong as steel wires. Tendons are also strong elastic bands of tissue, but they connect bones to muscle within a joint.
Are ligaments a connective tissue?
No the tendons are part of the connective tissue
What are the tough fibers or cords that hold the bones together?
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.
How are the muscles attached to bones?
Muscles are attached by tendons and ligaments to bones.

Are muslcles connected to bones by ligament or tendons?
No, ligaments connect bone to bone, while tendons connect muscle to bone.
Which type of tissue forms bones tendons and ligaments?
Bone is made of compact bone tissue and spongy bone tissue and also nerve cells from the spinal column.
Why are ligament and tendons made up of dense connective tissue?
Ligaments connect bones to other bones, and tendons connect muscles to bones; since connection is their function, it is logical that they should be made of connective tissue, don't you think?
What type of cartilage are tendons and ligaments made of?
tendons and cartilage are made of collagen tissue
What is a body joint made out of?

Muscles are connected to bone with?
Tendons connect muscles to bone at the muscle's origin or it's insertion. They are made up of connective tissue, which is a tough fibrous material rich in collagen. Similar material connects bones with each other, except the name is different: those are ligaments.
What stronge connective tissue holds bones together in movable joints?
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.
What are the similarities and the differences between ligament and tendon?
They both are made of the same tissue called connective tissue which is very strong. They have different names because of where the are and what they do. Tendons connect muscles to bones and ligaments connect bones to bones.
Are ligaments a connective tissue?
No the tendons are part of the connective tissue
