What is the connection between two or more skeletal bones called?

  1. Ligament

  2. Tendon

  3. Joint

  4. Cartilage

The correct answer is: Joint

A joint is the connection between two or more skeletal bones, where they come together to allow movement. Ligaments (option A) are strong bands of connective tissue that hold bones together to form a joint. Tendons (option B) connect muscle to bone and aid in movement. Cartilage (option D) is the smooth tissue that covers the ends of bones at a joint, providing cushioning and reducing friction. While all of these structures are involved in skeletal movement, a joint is the specific connection between bones.
