Question

Ligament connects a bone with a
A. Muscle
B. Bone
C. Tendon
D. Nerve

Answer 1

Hint: Ligament appears to form a criss-cross band and they stabilize the joints. Ligaments may tear upon injuries during sports and impair the knee movement. This will cause difficulty in twist and turn of the leg, thereby leading to difficulty in the movement.

Complete answer:
Ligaments are elastic, possess proteoglycan, and have less supply of blood. Two bones are connected by a connective tissue called ligaments. The ligaments will connect two bones only in the joints. Several ligaments will be involved in connecting a bone in the joint. A capsular pouch is formed by the ligaments and a synovial membrane in the joints. The synovial membrane creates a synovial fluid that plays an important role in lubrication. Additionally, ligaments attach as a band to the bone terminal which will either help in various movements or will restrict the movement as observed in the ribs.

Additional Information:
Ligaments are classified into 3 types namely: remnant, articular and peritoneal ligaments.
-A synovial joint is bounded by capsular ligaments and capsular ligaments is a part of articular ligaments.
-Peritoneal ligaments are two-layered peritoneum that will pass between two organs or from one organ to an abdominal wall. Example: The uterus ligaments form a peritoneal fold.
-Some of the fetal tubular arrangement is a type of ligament.
So, the correct answer is bone.

Note: Tendons and ligaments are an example of dense regular connective. They are important for locomotion. Both are structurally different. Tendons connect bones to the muscles and hence will spread muscular force to the bones.
