What type of tissue connects bones to one another?

Ligaments
Bursa
Tendons
Fascia

The correct answer is: Ligaments

Ligaments are a type of dense connective tissue that serve the critical function of connecting bones to one another at joints. They play a vital role in stabilizing joints and ensuring proper movement while providing support to the skeletal system. By holding bones together, ligaments help maintain the integrity of the skeletal framework during various activities. In contrast, other options refer to different types of structures and tissues that serve distinct functions. Bursa is a fluid-filled sac that reduces friction between moving parts in the body, helping to facilitate smooth movement around joints. Tendons connect muscles to bones, allowing for movement when muscles contract. Fascia is a band or sheet of connective tissue that envelops muscles and organs, helping to support and protect them, but does not directly connect bones. Understanding the specific role of ligaments in joint stability and the connection between bones enhances overall knowledge of biomechanics and anatomy crucial for a fitness career.
