Question

Ligaments and tendons are examples of _________________.

• A. epithelial tissue
• B. muscular tissue
• C. Cartilage
• D. Connective tissue

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Connective tissue

General connective tissue is either loose, or dense, depending on the arrangment of the fibres. Dense connective tissue forms strong, rope-like structures such as tendons and ligaments. A tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension.Tendons are similar to ligaments, both are made of collagen. Ligaments join one bone to another bone, while tendons connect muscle to bone.
