Explanation:

Question 68

• Tendons connect muscles to bones.
• Cartilages are flexible connective tissue (e.g., in joints, nose) but not for holding bones together.
• Ligaments are bands of connective tissue that connect bones to other bones (hold them together).
• Myofilaments are part of muscle fibers for contraction.

• Adduction is the movement of a body part toward the midline of the body (or toward the body in the case of the arm).
• Moving away from the body is abduction.
• Moving outward is not the definition of adduction.
• Raising above the head is elevation (or other movements like flexion/abduction in that case).

Answer:

C. ligaments
