Ligament
* Most ligaments connect valves
  - hold bones
* Most ligaments surround bones
  - pelvic bones
* Some ligaments are part of diaphragms
  - esophagi
* Some ligaments limit the mobility of articulations , or prevent certain movements altogether
  - articulations, or prevent certain movements altogether.
  * In this use, a 'ligament' short band of tough fibrous connective tissue composed mainly of long, stringy collagen fibres. Ligaments connect bones to other bones to form a joint. Some ligaments limit the mobility of articulations, or prevent certain movements altogether
* also provide the outer surfaces of the joints.
* are attachment.
* are bands of fibrous tissue that connect bones and hold joints together
  - or sheets of fibrous tissue that connect bone to bone
  - body parts
* are connective tissue and come in various size cordlike bands
  - tissues that connect bones with bones in the body
  - easier to mount because the bone at either end of the tissue
  - elastic bands of tissue that connect bone to bone
* are fibrous cords that attach bones to bones
  - connect the bones and stabilize the joint
  - important for the structural stability of the spine as they prevent excessive motion
  - like rope, consisting of many strands or fibers
  - responsible for providing stability to a joint
* are soft connective tissues that attach bones to bones
  - tissue structures that connect bones to bones
  - solid objects
* are strong bands of tissue that attach to the bones and form a joint
  - connect bones at the joint
  - connect one bone to another
  - which are much less stretchable than muscle or skin
  - cords of tissue that hold joints together and connect adjacent bones
  - fibers that connect one bone to another to form a joint
* are strong fibrous soft tissues that firmly attach the bones to each other
  - tissues that connect bone to bone
  - flexible bands of fibrous tissue
* are structures that attach bones together, and are major components of the knee joint
  - hold bones together
  - subject to sprains and tears
* are the bands of tissue which hold the bones together and provide stability
  - strong white fibrous tissues that connect bone to bone
  - strong, tough white material which holds bones together at the joints
  - tissues that connect bone to bone and can provide guides for tendons
* are tough bands of elastic tissue that connect bones to each other
  - tissue that hold bones together at joints
  - fibers which tie bones to other bones at a joint
* are tough, fibrous bands of tissue that bind bone ends together
  - bundles which are strong but only slightly elastic
  - fibrous, cord-like materials that connect bone to bone
  - usually more flattened and form of tissue
* are very important structures in maintaining the stability of a joint
  - strong material which holds bones together at the joints
  - what link bone to bone
  - each of the vertebrae and surround each of the discs
  - shoulder bones to each other, providing stability
* attach the cirri to sockets in the centrodorsal
  - disc to the lower bone and the upper fossa
* become lax, losing their tensile strength
  - loose after time in weightlessness
* bind the bones of the body together.
* can be over-stretched and cause the bones to lose their support
  - strained or stretched, and cartilage can be chipped or broken
  - very short, or extremely long, depending on where they connect in the body
* connect backs.
* connect bones and help keep the knee stable
  - provide wrapping material around joints
  - at their articulations, the points where they come together
  - each other at a joint
  - muscle to bone, tendons connect bone to bone
* connect the bones and keep the joint stable
  - of the shoulder, and tendons join the bones to surrounding muscles
  - to each other and tendons connect muscles to the bones
* contain fewer blood vessels than some other kinds of tissues contain.
* develop force when they are elongated.
* function to limit the range of motion that bones can move between each other.
* have a poor blood supply, and torn ligaments require as much healing time as fractures
  - many important functions in the human body in relation to the back and spine
  - some elasticity
* heal very slowly unfortunatley.
* help to provide stability to the disc and condyle during movements
  - stabilize the knee
* hold bone to bone
  - each ear in a foam-filled cavity outside the skull
  - our bones together and keep our organs in place
* hold the bones of a joint in place
  - tendons in place and stabilize the joints
  - upper and lower jaws of the cownose ray tightly together
* includes cell membranes
  - cytoplasm
  - ground substances
  - mast cells
  - nuclei
  - plasma membranes
  - sections
  - vacuoles
* interconnect the bones of the hand.
* is connective tissue
* join bone to bone
  - one bone to another bone, while tendons connect muscle to bone
  - the muscles to the skeleton, which creates the body's structure
* provide stability to the joint by restricting movement and holding the bones in place
  - strength and protection to synovial joints
* reinforce the spine and powerful muscles surround it for protection.
* serve as bone to bone connectors.
* support and strengthen the joints and prevent abnormal movement from occurring.
* surround and support each joint, connecting the bones and preventing excessive movement
  - the bony vertebrae to provide support
* tie the bones together to form joints.
* work cooperatively as a unit to provide stability and smooth motion of joints.
