Which one among the following tissues help to connect two bones ? 

The correct answer is Ligaments

Explanation:

• Ligaments are a type of connective tissue that connect one bone to another bone, providing stability and support to joints.
• They are composed mainly of long, stringy collagen fibers which provide great tensile strength.
• Ligaments are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the skeletal system, especially in joints where they help to prevent excessive movements that could lead to dislocation or injury.
  • Tendons: Tendons are connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, not bones to bones. They play a key role in transmitting the force generated by muscles to the bones, enabling movement.
  • Areolar tissue: Areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue that holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. It also surrounds blood vessels and nerves. It does not connect bones to each other.
  • Cartilage: Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in various forms in the body, such as in the joints between bones (as articular cartilage), the rib cage, the ear, the nose, and the bronchial tubes. It provides support and flexibility but does not directly connect bones to each other.
