Which term denotes the tissue connecting muscle to bone?

• A. Stereotyping
• B. Stereotype
• C. Vectors
• D. Tendons

Answer: (D)

Tendons are the tissue that connects muscle to bone, transmitting the force generated by muscle contraction to the skeleton so movement at a joint can happen. They’re dense regular connective tissue rich in collagen, built to withstand pulling forces. The other terms refer to concepts outside this context—stereotype and stereotyping relate to fixed beliefs about groups of people, and vectors describe quantities with magnitude and direction in physics or math. So the tissue that links muscle to bone is tendons.
