What holds bones together at joints?
If you are asking what holds bones together at the joints, it is the tough fibrous band of connective tissue called Ligaments. Ligaments are composed of dense bundles of fibers and spindle-shaped cells (fibroblasts and fibrocytes), with little ground substance. White ligament is rich in sturdy, inelastic collagen fibers, yellow ligament is more elastic.
Where are connective tissue?
in the joints
Describe the tissue type and function of a tendon?
Tendons are a type of soft tissue connecting muscle tissue to bone, similar to the ligaments that connect bone to bone. The function of tendons is to transfer force between muscle and bone. This facilitates the joint movement for everyday movements.
What are bones joints and connective tissue?
Bones form the frame of the body. They are connected at various types of joints and are held together by connective tissue.
What body system made up of bones joints and connective tissues?
The skeletal system is made up of bones, joints, and connective tissues.

What is the strong connective tissue in movable joints?
cartilage
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.
What type of connective tissue holds joints together?
cartilage

fibrous connective tissue that holds joints together
What is the stong connective tissues that hold moveable joints together?
