A ligament is a group of dense regular connective tissue made of collagenous fibres which are protected by dense connective tissue sheaths. Ligaments connect one bone to another bones to form joints. The also provide joint stability and prevent movement that might damage a joint.
| - osteoblasts begin to replace the fibrocartilage splint with spongy and compact bone, forming a bulge that is initially wider than the original bony shaft
Other marks such as a scar or tattoo may have some meaning behind it such as what the person had experienced or endured.

The bones that comprise the knee joint fit together because the lateral condyle of the femur and tibia are both articulated by the lateral meniscus. Both medial condyle of the tibia and femur are articulated by the medial meniscus. The patellar is found within the quadriceps tendon ligament of the knee. What structures are associated with the medial surface of the knee?
3-6: This slide shows a section of a tendon with regularly arranged closely packed collagen fibers running in the same direction. This results in a flexible tissue with great resistance to pulling forces. With its enormous tensile strength, this tissue forms cord like tendons, which join muscles to bones, sheet-like aponeuroses, which attach muscles to muscles or muscles to bones, and ligaments, which bind bones together at joints.
In these types of joints the fibers are very short and allow for little of no movement. Synarthroses joints come together at a point at which adjacent bones are bound
small piece of bone and the cartilage that covers it begins to crack and loosen.
Sometimes your tendon cell can get damaged but if it does happen it will be replaced with an even stronger one.
The shoulder is made up of two bones: the ball end called the humerus and the socket end called the scapula. It is held together by a semi complex series
Several muscles of the upper and lower arm attach at the elbow on the olecranon process. In the posterior compartment of the upper arm, the three heads of the triceps brachii converge into a single tendon that connects
Proximally, (VM) attaches to the proximal femur. Starting at the intertrochanteric line and moving posteroinferiorly to the medial supracondylar line (having passed over the pectineal line and the medial lip of the linear aspera (Drake et al 2013)). Distally the VM attaches to the medial boarder of the patella bone over the knee joint.
In macroscopic detail, the shoulder looks like the scapula coming up and creating a good base for the tendons. Above, is
As matrix becomes hardened with the calcium salts the embryonic skeleton becomes bone. We are able to move because we have joints and our skeleton supports us and protects our organs. The bones within the skeleton are held together by ligaments and are attached to muscles by tendons. Both
1b. Based on the name of the ligament determine where each ligament attaches on the Os Coxae
