Correct answer: A. Tendon
- A. Tendon
- B. Ligament
- C. Clavicle
- D. Sternum
Explanation
Tendon is a tough, fibrous, cord-like tissue that connects muscle to bone or another structure, such as an eyeball. Tendons help the bone or structure to move. A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable. Clavicle is involved in movement of shoulders and arms while sternum provides attachement for ribs.

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.
