Answer:

Description. Ligaments are short bands of tough, flexible tissue, made up of lots of individual fibres, which connect the bones of the body together. Ligaments can be found connecting most of the bones in the body. The function of a ligament is to provide a passive limit to amount of movement between your bones.

Answer:

what is the characteristic of ligaments??

  • Ligaments are specialized connective tissues with very interesting biomechanical properties.
  • The basic building blocks of a ligament are collagen fibers. These fibers are very strong, flexible, and resistant to damage from pulling or compressing stresses. Collagen fibers are usually arranged in parallel bundles, which help multiply the strength of the individual fibers. The bundles of collagen are attached to the outer covering that surrounds all bones, the periosteum.
  • They have the ability to adapt to the complex functions that each are required to perform.
  • Once thought to be inert, they are in fact responsive to many local and systemic factors that influence their function
  • Injury to a ligament results in a drastic change in its structure and physiology and creates a situation where ligament function is restored by the formation of scar tissue that is biologically and biomechanically inferior to the tissue it replaces.
