    Articular cartilage
  • What connects bones to other bones?
    Ligaments
  • Where would you find a sutural bone in the body?

  • What do ligaments attach?
    Bone to bone
  • What tissue covers the articulating surfaces of bones in a synovial joint?
    Articular cartilage
  • Which tarsal bone articulates with the tibia and fibula?
