Question

The main function of ligament is –
A) Joining of two bones
B) Joining of muscles
C) Joining of muscles to bones
D) Joining of muscles to nerves

Answer 1

Hint: Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing. Muscles can pull bones, but they cannot push them back to the original position.

Complete Answer:
A) Joining two bones – ligament is dense regular tissue. Fibers and fibroblasts are compactly packed in dense connective tissues. In dense regular connective tissues the orientation of fibers show a regular pattern Ligaments help in form of one bone to another ligaments also provide a passive limit to amount of movement between your bones and as they are elastic in nature, ligaments allow elastic in nature, ligaments allow for the controlled movement of joints.

B) Joining of muscles – Muscles helps in movement. The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers Muscles predominant function is contractibility. Muscles joined to bones and other organs, blood vessels also and are responsible for movement.

C) Joining of muscle to bones – They are tendons are fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. Tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue.

D) Joining of muscle to nerves – Muscular system and nervous system work together in a coordinated manner. Muscles give stimulus and nerves conduct the impulse and transfer signals to the brain for further action.

The correct option is A. Joining of two bones.

Note: Ligaments are similar to tendons. The difference between them is the connection that they make. Ligaments connect bone to bone and tendons connect muscle to bone.
