Connective tissue is one which is rich in intercellular substance or interlacing processes with little tendency for the cells to come together in sheets or masses. Tendon and ligament are the connective tissue that connect bone to bone and muscles to bones.
Tendons attach muscles to bones. The very same tissue attaches bone to bones and they are called ligaments.
Bone to Bone - Ligament Muscle to Bone - Tendon
Tendons attach muscles to bones. The very same tissue attaches bone to bones and they are called ligaments.
Tendons attach muscles to bones. An example is the Achilles tendon that attaches your calf muscle (gastrocnemius) to the bones in your foot.
Muscles are connected to bones by strong connective tissue called ligaments.
Tendons attach muscle to bone ligaments attach bone to bone
Bone to bone= ligament bone to muscle = tendon
bones
A tough, fibrous tissue called tendons.
Skeletal muscles can attach to bones directly and indirectly. A direct attachment is when the epimysium (the sheath of connective tissue surrounding the muscle fibre's exterior surface) sticks to and fuses with the periosteum (the connective tissue surrounding the exterior surface of the bone). An indirect attachment is when the epimysium extends beyond the muscle as a tendon and attaches to the periosteum of the bone. This attachment is more common in the human body than a direct attachment.
tendon (fibrous tissue) connects muscles to bones
An easy way to remember this for your A&P exam is that (B)one to Bone comes alphabetically before (M)uscle to bone. Since we know that the answers are ligaments and tendons, we remember that (L)igament comes alphabetically before (T)endon, and so Bone to Bone is Ligament and Muscle to Bone is Tendon. Hope this helps. Of course there are other sorts of connective tissues in the body, but the bones and muscles are primarily connected by Ligaments and Tendons.
