Question

The fibrous tissue, which connects the two bones, is
A. Connective tissue
B. Ligament
C. Tendon
D. Adipose tissue

Answer 1

Hint: The tissue which is most occurring and widely distributed in our body is connective tissue. The given tissue that connects muscle to bone is made up of collagen and in this respect has similarity with the tissue that connects bone to bone as well

Complete answer:
Muscles are an extremely and amazingly contractile tissue, therefore to prevent stress, the tissue that connects muscle to bone has to have contractile properties. The tissue that attaches muscles to bones has elastic properties, it means that as the muscles contract and relax that tissue can also contract and relax accordingly to a certain extent. Each muscle will have those tissues at both ends.

Let's discuss the above options and find the correct solution
1.Connective tissue - Cartilage is defined as a soft connective tissue that is the main constituent of the body. The material of cartilage is solid and pliable and gets resistance to compression. Most of the cartilages in the vertebrate embryo are replaced by hard bones in adults.
2.Ligament - The ligament is defined as the fibrous connective tissues that attach one bone to another. It is a kind of dense regular connective tissue. It is also termed as the articular ligament or true ligament. It is composed of dense collagen fibres and is covered by dense irregular connective tissue sheaths.
3.Tendon - Tendon is defined as an uneven band of fibrous connective tissue that connects the skeletal muscles to the bones. Tendons are used as the structure to connect the muscles with the bones and also muscles with the muscles and it has the ability to bear tension.
4.Adipose tissue- Adipose is defined as the connective tissue that attaches the organs in its particular place. It also helps in the function to store fat and salts for the nearby tissues.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: Tendon can function like an elastic band that can regain its original shape. Tendons are identical to ligaments, as mentioned above, but they both have different functions so can be called as homologous structure. Tendons also connect muscles to structures such as eyeballs.
