Editing Ligament (section)

==Comparative anatomy==
Ligaments are similar to [[tendon]]s and [[fascia]]e as they are all made of [[connective tissue]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Asahara |first1=Hiroshi |last2=Inui |first2=Masafumi |last3=Lotz |first3=Martin K. |date=September 2017 |title=Tendons and Ligaments: Connecting Developmental Biology to Musculoskeletal Disease Pathogenesis |journal=Journal of Bone and Mineral Research |volume=32 |issue=9 |pages=1773–1782 |doi=10.1002/jbmr.3199 |issn=0884-0431 |pmc=5585011 |pmid=28621492}}</ref> The differences among them are in the connections that they make: ligaments connect one bone to another bone, tendons connect muscle to bone, and fasciae connect muscles to other muscles. These are all found in the [[skeletal system]] of the [[human body]]. Ligaments cannot usually be regenerated naturally; however, there are [[periodontal ligament stem cells]] located near the periodontal ligament which are involved in the adult regeneration of periodontist ligament.

The study of ligaments is known as {{wt|en|desmology}}.
