Question
select the correct answer.
what do tendons connect skeletal muscles to?
a. bones
b. fibers
c. arteries
d. ligaments
Tendons are tough, fibrous connective tissues. Their main function is to connect skeletal muscles to bones. This connection is crucial for movement as when a muscle contracts, the tendon transmits the force to the bone, causing it to move. Ligaments connect bones to other bones. Arteries are blood - vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Fibers can refer to various types of thread - like structures in different contexts (e.g., muscle fibers, nerve fibers) but not in the context of connecting muscles to bones.
