A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones. It also connects flight feathers to bones, in dionosaurs and birds. All 30,000 species of amniotes (land animals with internal bones) have ligaments.
It is also known as articular ligament, articular larua,[1] fibrous ligament, or true ligament.
