Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
A tendon connects bone to muscle and a ligament connects bone to bone. The actual point of attachment where a muscle connects to a bone is called the process(n) of the bone.
When a ligament is torn what is it called?
when a ligament is torn it is called hyperextension
What is the largest of the ovarian attachments called?
Broad Ligament
What hold bones together?
Ligaments (also known as articular ligament, articular laura, fibrous ligament or true ligament) connect bones together. (Ligament damage is called a sprain.)
Does the tibial collateral ligament provide medial or lateral support for the knee?
The tibial collateral ligament provides medial support for the knee. It's also called the medial collateral ligament.

Do sprains involve tearing of the muscle fibers?
The tearing of a ligament, the fibrous tissue connecting bone to bone, is called a sprain.Related Information:A strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon (the tendon connects muscle to bone).
When a ligament is torn what is it called?
when a ligament is torn it is called hyperextension
What are the ligaments in the shoulder called?
Capsular ligament, Conoid ligament, Caracoacromial ligament, Superior Transverse Scapular ligament, and Trapezoid ligament.

What is the primary insertion of the quadriceps muscle?
These muscles all have a ligament of insertion which is called the patellar ligament. This ligament inserts to the tibial tuberosity.
What is the insertion of all the muscle of the quadriceps group?

What holds false teeth to gums?
A tooth is primarily held in place by the periodontal ligament. The ligament runs the entire length of the tooth root surface and attaches to the bone of the jaw. The width of the ligament is typically less than a millimeter in width. There is a small amount of epithelial tissue (gum tissue) that covers the coronal (top) of the ligament and attaches to the tooth itself, but this attachment is not nearly as strong as the ligament. In periodontal disease (gum disease) bacteria colonize in the small pocket between the tooth and gum. If it remains long enough, the bacteria cause the body to respond in an inflammatory reaction. The immune system produces enzymes that destroy the attachment and the bone surrounding the tooth. Eventually, the tooth no longer has enough attachment and support to withstand the forces of biting and chewing, and the tooth becomes loose and has to be removed.
