Understand the concept of muscle attachment: Skeletal muscles attach to bones either directly or indirectly. Direct attachment occurs when muscle fibers merge directly with the periosteum of the bone. Indirect attachment involves a connective tissue structure, such as a tendon, that connects the muscle to the bone.
Review the options provided: Analyze each option to determine whether it describes an indirect attachment of skeletal muscle to bone.
Option 1: 'A ligament connecting two bones' - Ligaments connect bones to other bones, not muscles to bones. This is not an example of muscle attachment.
Option 2: 'Muscle fibers merging directly with the periosteum' - This describes direct attachment, not indirect attachment.
Option 3: 'A tendon connecting muscle to bone' - Tendons are connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, making this an example of indirect attachment. Option 4: 'A muscle attaching to skin' - This describes a muscle attaching to skin, not bone, and is not relevant to the question.
