What structure connects a skeletal muscle to a bone?

  1. ligament
  2. Cartilage
  3. Joint capsule
  4. tendons ✓
Explanation

Tendons are tough cords of tissue that join muscle to bone. When the muscle contracts, the tendon pulls the bone.

Ligaments join bone to bone. Cartilage cushions joints and a joint capsule encloses them. Neither joins muscle to bone.
