What is a "ligament"?
A ligament is a strong band of connective tissue that connects bones to other bones, providing stability and support to joints. It helps to restrict excessive movement and prevents the bones from dislocating or separating. Ligaments are flexible yet sturdy, allowing for a controlled range of motion while maintaining the integrity of the joint.
