What type of connective tissue is reticular made of?
blood,ligaments,tendons,bones,cartilage,areolar,adipose
Does elastic cartilage form tendons?
no. tendons and ligaments are formed from dense regular connective tissue, not from any type of cartilage.
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.
Tendons and ligaments must withstand tension along with the axis of their fibers These structures are composed of?
Elastic
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.
Elastic fibers that connect the ends of bones at movable joints are known as?
I think tendons mostly but it could be ligaments
Can you give a sentence for the word restricted?
Movement becomes restricted where bone replaces the elastic tissue of ligaments or tendons.
What morphological feature causes the toe-in region in tendons and ligaments?
Loading of tendons and ligaments. This is found in all tendons and ligaments and is not a feature of injury.
How do bones ligaments and tendons work together?
Ligaments and Tendons are cartilage. Ligaments connect bones to bones and Tendons connect muscles to bones.
What holds a skeleton?
Ligaments connect bones together, so a skeleton is basically held together by ligaments, which are tough, non-expandable and non-elastic. Tendons connect muscles to bones, and these are slightly more elastic although they're definitely not supposed to be stretched.
What body part is most flexible?
Some parts of the body for example the skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscle are elastic
What happens when ligaments or tendons stretch?
ligaments and tendons shorten and becomes less flexible with age
