Strongest ligament of human body is:

ALigamentum flavum
BIliofemoral ligament
Correct Answer
CLigamentum nuchae
DLigamentum arteriosum

Solution

Ligaments are the flexible connective tissue which mainly helps in the attachment of two bones. The iliofemoral ligament is a ligament of the hip joint, which extends from the ilium to the femur in front of the joint. It is also referred to as the Y-ligament. It has the highest tensile strength. This ligament is not only stronger than the two other ligaments of the hip joint, the ischiofemoral and the pubofemoral, but it is also the strongest ligament in the human body. Hence, option B is correct.
