Question

State the role of ligament and tendon in your skeletal system

Answer 1

Tendons attaches a muscle to the bone whereas Ligaments attaches a bone to another bone.
Sprain is caused due to incompressible extension of Ligaments.

Answer 2

LIGAMENT...
example of a ligament is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)...
1)Ligament is a fibrous connective tissues which attaches bone to bone...

2)it helps them to hold structure together and keep them stable......

3)~~~~They are elastic

*4)****Connect ends of the bones only at joints

5)Usually many ligaments per joints

6)Proteoglycan content is more than tendons

7)Ligaments are yellow in colour

8)The fibroblasts of ligaments are scattered

9)Blood supply comparatively poor

10)they are stronger than tendons.

#######Both are dense-granular connective tissues.

#####Both composed of living cells.

ñ##### Both contain plenty of collagens.

TENDONS..
example of a tendon is the Achilles tendon...

1)***Tendons are also fibrous connective tissue which connects/attaches muscle to bone

2)~~~~Tendons are cord-like, strong, inelastic structures

3)Usually only one tendon per muscle

4)Collagen content is more than ligaments

5)Proteoglycan content is less than ligaments

6)Tendons are white in colour

7)The fibroblasts of tendons lie in continuous raw

8)Have heavy blood supply

9)Connect ends of the muscles to any place of the bone

10)they are comparatively weaker than tendon

***** The strength of tendons in resisting pulls is said to be ‘equal to at least half that of the bones******
