Muscles are Joined to Bones By

Question

Muscles are joined to bones by
A) ligaments.
B) tendons.
C) loose connective tissue.
D) Haversian systems.
E) spindle fibers.

Accepted Answer

Muscles are joined to bones by tendons, which are tough connective tissues that attach muscle to bone. Ligaments join bone to bone, and loose connective tissue does not have a specific role in connecting muscles and bones. Haversian systems and spindle fibers are structures within bone tissue and muscle cells, respectively, and are not involved in the connection between muscles and bones.
