A ligament is a short band of tough dense fibrous connective tissue composed mainly of stringy, bundled collagen fibers. Ligaments connect bones to other bones to form a joint. (They do not connect muscles to bones; that is the function of tendons.) Some ligaments limit the mobility of articulations or prevent certain movements altogether. Ligaments act as mechanical reinforcements for example the capsular ligaments are part of the articular capsule that surrounds synovial joints. Extra-capsular ligaments join bones together and provide joint stability. Ligaments are viscoelastic. They gradually strain when under tension and return to their original shape when the tension is removed. However, they cannot retain their original shape when extended past a certain point or for a prolonged period of time. This is one reason why dislocated joints must be set as quickly as possible, if the ligaments lengthen too much, then the joint will be weakened, becoming prone to future dislocations. Ligaments cannot usually be regenerated naturally. Athletes, gymnasts, and martial artists perform stretching exercises to lengthen their ligaments, making their joints more supple. The term double-jointed refers to people who have more elastic ligaments, allowing their joints to stretch further. The ligament consists of spindle-shaped cells known as fibrocytes, with a little ground substance. The branch of anatomy which studies ligaments is called desmology.
