Name the tissue that connects muscle to bones.

A

Tendon

B

Ligament

C

Cartilage

D

None of the above

A tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments. Ligaments join one bone to another bone. Tendons and muscles work together to move bones.

Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue in animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs. It is not as hard and rigid as bone, but it is stiffer and less flexible than muscle.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
