Q. In human body, ligaments are made up of ____:
Answer: White fibres and some yellow elastic fibres
Notes: A ligament is composed of dense fibrous bundles of collagenous fibres and spindle-shaped cells known as fibrocytes, with little ground substance. Ligaments which attaches the two different bones at a joint may be of two major types: white ligament is rich in collagenous fibres, which are sturdy and inelastic; and yellow ligament is rich in elastic fibres, which are quite tough even though they allow elastic movement.
