The connection between two bones is called:
Correct answer: B. Joint
- A. Ligament
- B. Joint
- C. None of these
- D. Tendon
Explanation
A joint is a point at which two or more bones meet or where the connection between two bones occur. They are responsible for movement, such as the movement of limbs, and stability, such as the stability found in the bones of the skull.A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone and usually serves to hold structures together and keeps them stable, this is incorrect as the question asks about the connection between 2 bones and not the name of the structure that joins 2 bones.A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone. It serves to move the bone.

About Support and Movement
Support and movement covers the axial and appendicular skeleton, bone structure, joints and the arrangement of skeletal muscles. Muscle contraction is explained through actin, myosin, sliding filaments, calcium ions and ATP, while arthritis is distinguished as a disorder of joints rather than a normal part of movement.
