Ligament

A tough band of tissue that holds bones together at a joint

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep a stack of books neatly aligned on a shelf without letting them topple over. Just like the books need something to hold them in place to prevent them from falling, bones at a joint need ligaments to maintain their proper position and function. Ligaments act as the supportive bookends that provide stability and structure, ensuring the bones remain aligned and functional, much like how bookends keep your books securely on the shelf.
