what is the function of ligaments
Ligaments are the soft, fibrous tissues that connect bones together in addition to helping to guide the bodyâs movement. The main function of ligaments is to anchor bones to muscle.As a result, ligaments will generally be found in animals that have bones, and not in animals that donât.igaments govern a joint's range of motion. As a connector between joints and muscles, ligaments keep muscles from stretching a joint so far that it becomes dislocated. Often, several ligaments guide one joint. This is the case for spinal ligaments and vertebrae, for example.
