Ligament
Ligament explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to keep a stack of books from toppling over without using any tape or glue. Just like books in a stack need a way to stay aligned and stable, our bones require a system to hold them together and maintain structure at the joints. Ligaments act as the strong yet flexible bands that keep our bones in place at the joints, much like how a carefully balanced stack of books relies on the alignment and pressure between them to stay upright.
