Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ligaments hold the bones of synovial joints in place. Tendons attach muscles to bones and play a role in joint movement, but do not specifically hold bones in place. Loose connective tissue is present in the joint capsule but does not provide significant support. Cartilage is present on the ends of bones in synovial joints but does not hold them in place. Other bones are not involved in holding the bones of synovial joints in place.
