The tissue that acts as a cushion between bones to prevent them from rubbing together?

  1. Ligament

  2. Cartilage

  3. Tendon

  4. Fascia

The correct answer is: Cartilage

Cartilage is the tissue that acts as a cushion between bones to prevent them from rubbing together. Ligaments, tendons, and fascia are all connective tissues that serve different functions in the body. Ligaments connect bones to other bones, tendons connect muscles to bones, and fascia surrounds and supports muscles, organs, and other structures. These tissues do not specifically act as a cushion between bones. Therefore, they are not the correct answer to the question.
