Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of tendons in the musculoskeletal system: Tendons are strong, fibrous connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, allowing for the transfer of force and movement.
Differentiate between tendons and ligaments: While tendons connect muscles to bones, ligaments connect bones to other bones, providing joint stability.
Consider the function of cartilage: Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in joints, the rib cage, ear, nose, and other parts of the body, but it does not connect muscles to bones.
Examine the role of fascia: Fascia is a band or sheet of connective tissue that supports and surrounds muscles and other organs, but it does not directly connect muscles to bones.
Identify the correct structure: Based on the definitions and functions, tendons are the structures that connect muscles to bones.
