In the skeletal system, the function of tendons is to:
  1. Act as a reservoir for calcium and phosphorous.
  2. Attach bones to muscles.
  3. Act as the formation centers for cartilage.
  4. Attach ligaments to muscle fibers.
Explanation
Correct Response: B. Tendons are bands of fibrous connective tissue that connect bones to muscles. Calcium is stored in the bones, and phosphorus is present in all cells, though most is stored in bones and teeth (A). Cartilage, which cushions bones at joints, is connective tissue that begins to form during embryonic development and grows slowly through cell division (C). Ligaments are connective tissue that connects bones to bones (D)
