Ligaments connect one bone to another bone. Therefore, they allow a joint to form, because joints are where two or more bones connect.
Take your knee joint for instance (***see attached pic***). The knee joint is formed by the connection of the femur (your thigh bone), the tibia (your shin bone), and the fibula (the other long bone in your lower leg). In order for all of these bones to connect there are many ligaments in the knee joint that keep the bones connected and in place. A well known example of one of these ligaments in the knee joint is the ACL (anterior crucate ligament), which is commonly torn in sports, namely football. Most people have heard of this ligament because it receives a lot of media attention since tearing it can greatly alter or even end professional athletes' careers.
The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements using this method. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order is usually according with the increasment (Is this a word?) of the atomic mass.
The genetic variations that are best suited for their enviornment
Explanation:
Those that are not well suited for their environment will die off, leaving only the ones that are suited for it. This species will slowly take hold until the species has adapted and become a completely different one.
So where then did all the carbon that living organisms are built of come from? It turns out that most of the carbon we use today came from a collision with another smallish planet about 4.4 billion years ago.
The fluids leave the capillaries at the arterial end because the net filtration pressure of the blood is higher at the arterial end than it is at the venous end. The fluids reenter the capillaries at the venous end because the net filtration pressure of the interstitial fluid is higher at the venous end than it is at the arterial end.
