Connective tissues are fundamental components of the skeleton, characterized by living cells embedded in a non-living matrix, enabling structural support, flexibility, and movement.
1. What is a primary effect of connective tissues in the skeleton?
2. How does hyaline cartilage differ from elastic cartilage in their structural composition?
3. When was the role of tendons and ligaments in connecting muscles to bones and stabilizing joints first systematically documented in scientific anatomy?
Connective tissues — in skeleton?

Ligaments — function?
Connect bone to bone at joints.
Fixed joint — movement?
