Muscle to muscle
Bone to bone
Skin to bone

The correct answer is: Bone to bone

Ligaments primarily connect bone to bone, providing stability to joints and supporting the structural integrity of the skeletal system. They are composed of dense connective tissue that is strong yet flexible, allowing for the movement of joints while preventing excessive motion that could lead to injury. This connection allows ligaments to play an essential role in the biomechanics of the body, helping to maintain proper alignment and function of the skeletal structure during various activities. Understanding this function is crucial for recognizing the role of ligaments in movement and injury prevention in both emergency medical situations and general health.
