Best Answer

If you are asking what holds bones together at the joints, it is the tough fibrous band of connective tissue called Ligaments.

Ligaments are composed of dense bundles of fibers and spindle-shaped cells (fibroblasts and fibrocytes), with little ground substance. White ligament is rich in sturdy, inelastic collagen fibers, yellow ligament is more elastic.

Ligaments. Bones are held in place by a combination of ligaments (bone to bone connective tissue), tendons (bone to muscle connective tissue), adjacent muscles and the geometry of the bones themselves.
