Which one among the following tissues help to connect two bones ?
Explanation
In the human body, ligaments are specialized fibrous connective tissues that connect one bone to another bone at a joint. They are characterized by being highly elastic and possessing considerable strength, although they contain very little matrix. Their primary function is to provide stability to the joints and ensure bones remain in proper alignment during movement.
- Tendons: These are fibrous tissues that connect skeletal muscles to bones, facilitating movement by transmitting the force of muscle contraction.
- Areolar tissue: This is a type of loose connective tissue found between the skin and muscles, around blood vessels and nerves, and in the bone marrow; it fills spaces inside organs and supports internal structures.
- Cartilage: This is a connective tissue with a solid matrix that smoothens bone surfaces at joints and provides structural support to the nose, ears, and trachea.
Since ligaments specifically bind bones together, Option B is the correct answer.
