1.1.6 The role of ligaments and tendons

• Ligaments connect bones to bones
• Match the example with the correct tissue type:

  Knee ligaments ↔️ Ligaments

  Achilles tendon ↔️ Tendons
• Tendons connect muscles to bones
• What is the main function of ligaments in stabilizing joints?

  Prevent dislocation
• Match the tissue type with its example:

  Ligaments ↔️ Knee ligaments

  Tendons ↔️ Achilles tendon
• Tendons connect muscles to bones
• What type of connective tissue are ligaments composed of?

  Dense, irregular
• Tendons connect muscles to bones.
• Match the connective tissue type with its connection:

  Ligaments ↔️ Bone to bone

  Tendons ↔️ Muscle to bone
• An example of a tendon is the Achilles tendon.
• Ligaments connect muscles to bones.

  False
• Tendons transmit force for movement.
• What is one of the main functions of tendons in joint movement?

  Transmit force
• What is the importance of ligaments and tendons in joint function?

  Joint stability and movement
• What are ligaments made of?

  Fibrous connective tissue
• Ligaments transmit force from muscle to bone.

  False
• What is the primary function of tendons?

  Transmit force
• Tendons are composed of dense, regular connective tissue.

  True
• Order the functions of ligaments:

  1️⃣ Stabilize joints

  2️⃣ Support joints

  3️⃣ Prevent excessive movement

  4️⃣ Maintain joint integrity
• What is the primary role of tendons in joint movement?

  Transmit muscular force
• Ligaments enable joint movement by transmitting muscular force.

  False
• What is one of the primary roles of tendons?

  Enable joint movement
• The primary role of tendons is to stabilize and support joints.

  False
• What type of connective tissue makes up tendons?

  Dense, regular
• What is the primary role of ligaments at a joint?

  Stabilize and support
• What is the main function of tendons in the body?

  Transmit force
• Match the ligament function with its description:

  Stabilize joints ↔️ Prevent dislocation

  Support joints ↔️ Maintain alignment

  Prevent excessive movement ↔️ Limit range of motion

  Maintain joint integrity ↔️ Ensure structural components stay in place
• Ligaments connect bones to bones to provide stability.
