Identify the distinguishing characteristics between ligaments and tendons.
Ligaments are composed of loose connective tissue, while tendons are made up of dense connective tissue.
Tendons primarily connect bones to bones, while ligaments mainly connect muscles to other bones.
Tendons exhibit collagen fibers that are arranged in a parallel fashion, while ligaments have collagen fibers that are randomly scattered.
Ligaments generally possess greater elasticity and stretching capacity compared to tendons.
Answers (1)
Option 4 correctly identifies that ligaments generally possess greater elasticity and stretching capacity compared to tendons. This is due to the structural differences between the two. Ligaments are composed of more elastic fibers, allowing them to stretch and provide flexibility to the joints they connect. On the other hand, tendons are mainly composed of dense collagen fibers, which provide strength and transmit the force generated by muscles to the bones, but they have less elasticity and stretching capacity compared to ligaments. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
