Where do bones connect together?
Ligaments connect bones together. Tendons. Tendons (another type of tough connective tissue) on each side of a joint attach to muscles that control movement of the joint. Tendons connect muscles to bones.
Where does bone meet bone?
The place where two bones meet is called a joint.
Are the bones connected to each other?
Bones are fastened to other bones by long, fibrous straps called ligaments (pronounced: LIG-uh-mentz). Cartilage (pronounced: KAR-tul-ij), a flexible, rubbery substance in our joints, supports bones and protects them where they rub against each other.
How are bones connected?
Where in the body has the most bones?

Where is the only bone that does not connect to another bone?
The hyoid bone is a slender, U-shaped bone. It’s suspended just beneath the mandible. It isn’t directly attached to any other bone.
Where are ball and socket joints found?
Examples of this form of articulation are found in the hip, where the round head of the femur (ball) rests in the cup-like acetabulum (socket) of the pelvis; and in the shoulder joint, where the rounded upper extremity of the humerus (ball) rests in the cup-like glenoid fossa (socket) of the shoulder blade.
How do bones stay together?
What do joints connect?
Joints are movable connections between two bones. Each joint is made up of the surfaces of the bones involved, a joint cavity and a joint capsule. The joint surfaces (articular surfaces) of the bones are covered with a layer of cartilage.
What connects two bones together?
The place where two or more bones come together is called a joint . The bones at a joint are held together by strong bands of tissue called ligaments which allow the bones to move. A joint that permits no movement is known as a synarthrosis.
What holds Bones Together?
Cartilage: This smooth and flexible substance covers the tips of your bones where they meet.
How are bones held together?
Bones are held together at the joints by connective tissue called ligaments, muscles, cartilage, or orperiosteum.
