Ligaments are the type of connective tissue that helps to connect two bones together.
Ligaments are strong, fibrous bands that stabilize joints by holding bones in place.
Tendons connect muscles to bones. Areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue that fills spaces and supports organs. Cartilage is a specialized connective tissue providing cushioning and support, found in joints but not primarily connecting bones to each other across a joint; that’s the role of ligaments.
