In the structure of a skeletal muscle, what connective tissue structure attaches skeletal muscle to bone?
A
Cartilage
B
Tendon
C
Fascia
D
Ligament
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of connective tissues in the musculoskeletal system, which includes structures that connect muscles to bones and bones to other bones.
Recall that ligaments connect bones to other bones, providing joint stability, while tendons connect muscles to bones, transmitting the force generated by muscle contraction.
Recognize that fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds muscles and other internal structures but does not directly attach muscle to bone.
Identify that cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in joints and other areas but does not serve as the attachment between muscle and bone.
Conclude that the connective tissue structure responsible for attaching skeletal muscle to bone is the tendon.
