Explanation

Ligaments are an important part of the musculoskeletal system, connecting bones to bones and providing stability and support to joints. They are made up of dense, fibrous connective tissue that is able to withstand tension and stress. Ligaments function to limit the amount of movement between bones, preventing dislocation or damage to the joint. They also play a role in proprioception, the body's ability to sense where it is in space. Ligaments are short bands of tough and flexible tissue that connect bones in the human body, limiting the amount of mobility between them in a passive way.
