Answer:

Bone

The major functions of the bones are body support, facilitation of movement, protection of internal organs, storage of minerals and fat, and hematopoiesis. Together, the muscular system and skeletal system are known as the musculoskeletal system.

Ligament

Ligaments connect the ends of bones together in order to form a joint. They also assist in holding organs in place. Tendon: A tough, flexible and inelastic band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscles to bones.

Tendon

A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.

Cartilage

Cartilage: This smooth and flexible substance covers the tips of your bones where they meet. It enables bones to move without friction (rubbing against each other). When cartilage wears away, as in arthritis, it can be painful and cause movement problems.

Según la historia evolutiva y sus diferentes saltos, ¿Qué linaje de especies es más antiguo?
Arturiano [62]

es la A

Hace aproximadamente 250 millones de años ocurrió la extinción masiva del Pérmico-Triásico, un evento en el cual murieron hasta el 96 por ciento de las especies marinas y un porcentaje similar de las terrestres. Cerca de tres millones de años después se produjo la separación, a partir de un ancestro en común, de los linajes que con el tiempo darían origen a las aves y los cocodrilos. El grupo que incluye tanto a cocodrilos como aves se lo denomina Archosauria, que significa ‘reptiles dominantes’.
