Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A tendon is the correct answer as it is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone, providing stability and transferring force. A ligament is also a strong, tough strand of connective tissue, but its function is to attach bone to bone and provide stability to joints. Cartilage is a different type of connective tissue that supports and cushions joints. Adipose tissue is not related to connective tissue attachments.
