The system that includes ligaments, bones, muscles, and tendons is the **musculoskeletal system**. This system provides the framework for the body, facilitates movement, supports and protects vital organs, and stores minerals. Here’s a brief overview of each component:
1. **Bones**: The rigid organs that make up the skeleton. They provide structure, protect organs, anchor muscles, and store calcium.
2. **Muscles**: Tissues that contract and relax to produce movement. There are three types of muscles: skeletal (voluntary muscles that move bones), smooth (involuntary muscles found in organs), and cardiac (the heart muscle).
3. **Tendons**: Connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, allowing for the transfer of force when muscles contract.
4. **Ligaments**: Tough bands of connective tissue that connect bones to other bones at joints, providing stability and support.
Together, these components work in coordination to allow for movement, stability, and overall function of the body.
