Which connective tissue connects bone to bone?

• A. Fascia
• B. Ligament
• C. Tendon
• D. Cartilage

Answer: (B)

Ligaments are the structures that connect bones to other bones across a joint, providing stability and guiding movement. They’re dense regular connective tissue with lots of collagen, built to resist pulling forces as the joint moves, which keeps the bones properly aligned.

Fascia wraps around muscles and other tissues, not bones-to-bones. Tendons attach muscles to bones, transferring force to move a limb. Cartilage sits between the ends of bones in a joint to cushion and reduce friction, rather than linking the bones together. So, the connective tissue that connects bone to bone is ligament.
