ligaments
The connective tissue that holds together movable joints is called ligaments. Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bones to each other and help stabilize and support the joint during movement.
cartilage
fibrous connective tissue that holds joints together
The skeletal system is made up of bones, joints, and connective tissues that provide support, protection, and movement for the body.
Ligaments are tough connective tissues that hold bones together at joints. They provide stability and support to the joint by connecting bone to bone.
All joints have connective tissues to connect the bones in the joint
The strong connective tissue that holds bones together in movable joints is called ligaments. Ligaments are made of dense connective tissue and provide stability and support to the joints while allowing for a certain range of motion. They play a crucial role in preventing excessive movement that could lead to injuries.
Ligaments hold bone to bone in a movable joint. In contrast, tendons hold muscle to bone. Ligaments are made of dense fibrous connective tissue. Ligaments also hold our bones in place and support the organs.
A slightly movable joint held together by fibrous connective tissue is called a syndesmosis joint. This type of joint allows for a small amount of movement between the bones it connects, such as the joints between the tibia and fibula in the lower leg.
Different types of joints are held together by different tissues types:Sutures and gomphoses are held together by dense fibrous connective tissue. Synchondroses are held together by hyaline cartilage.Symphyses are held together by fibrocartilage.Diarthroses or synovial joints, the most common type of joints, are held together by ligaments and joint capsules, which are made of dense fibrous connective tissue.
Fibrous joints are classified as joints where bones are held together by fibrous connective tissue. They are further categorized into three types: sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses. Sutures are immovable joints found in the skull, syndesmoses are slightly movable joints held together by ligaments, and gomphoses are specialized joints found between teeth and their sockets.
