Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the function of each structure listed in the options: Fascia, Tendon, Ligament, and Cartilage.
Recall that tendons are specialized connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, allowing for movement when muscles contract.
Differentiate tendons from ligaments, which connect bones to other bones, and cartilage, which provides cushioning and structural support in joints.
Recognize that fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, organs, and other structures, but does not directly connect muscles to bones.
Conclude that the correct structure connecting a muscle to a bone is a tendon, based on its anatomical function and definition.
