What hold bones together?
Joints hold bones together in the human body. Joints are made up of connective tissues such as cartilage and ligaments, which help stabilize and support the bones while allowing for movement. Different types of joints, such as hinge joints or ball-and-socket joints, allow for various ranges of motion in the body.
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.
How far can a ligament stretch?
Ligaments must be able to stretch so that when the arm stretches, the ligament stretches too if it doesn't you will going to feel pain.
What types of tissues make up the skeletal system?
The skeletal system is mainly composed of bone tissue and cartilage tissue. Bones provide support and protection, while cartilage acts as a cushion between bones and helps with flexibility in joints. Additionally, other connective tissues like tendons and ligaments are also part of the skeletal system.
Name two structures that make up the carpal tunnel?
The carpal bones (wrist bones) make up the "floor" of the carpal tunnel and the transverse carpal tunnel ligament make up the top part of the tunnel.
What ligaments are apart of the human hip joint?
The major ligaments of the human hip joint include the iliofemoral ligament, pubofemoral ligament, and ischiofemoral ligament. These ligaments help provide stability to the hip joint and limit excessive movement.

Is ligament an organ?
No, a ligament is not an organ. Ligaments are dense bands of connective tissue that connect bones to other bones to provide stability and support to joints. Organs are more complex structures made up of different tissues that perform specific functions in the body.

What is a ligament made up of?
Hi there, The elastic connective tissue is on most of your ligaments in your body. Hope this helped. Alex

Ligaments are bright green... I hope I have helped =)
In the periodontal ligament the fibers are the most numerous and make up the bulk of all fibers?

What is ligment?
A ligament is a band of tissue that connects bones and hold various organs in place. Ligaments are found all over the human body. There are three types of ligaments. Peritoneal ligaments, fetal remnant ligaments, and articular ligaments. The peritoneal ligaments is made up of folds of peritoneum. Fetal remnant ligaments are ligaments that are found in very young children. The articular ligaments are ligaments that are found in the joints and connecting bones. Ligaments are slightly elastic; when under tension, they gradually lengthen. This is one reason why dislocated joints must be set as quickly as possible: if the ligaments lengthen too much, then the joint will be weakened, becoming prone to future dislocations. Athletes, gymnasts, dancers, and martial artists perform stretching exercises to lengthen their ligaments, making their joints more supple. The term double-jointed refers to people who have more elastic ligaments, allowing their joints to stretch and contort further. The medical term for describing such double-jointed persons is hyperlaxity and double-jointed is a synonym of hyperlax.
What is the agonist and Antagonist muscles in a chin up?
Deltoid
Why are ligament and tendons made up of dense connective tissue?
Ligaments and tendons are made up of dense connective tissue because they need to be strong and able to withstand the tension and forces exerted on them. The dense connective tissue provides structural support and helps in connecting muscles to bones (tendons) and bones to bones (ligaments).
