Ligaments and tendons are soft collagenous tissues. Ligaments connect bone to bone and tendons connect muscles to bone. Ligaments and tendons play a significant role in musculoskeletal biomechanics.
Can Ants See. Some can and some can't. There are some kinds of ants which have no eyes. Most of them do have eyes, though they may be such simple ones that they only detect the presence or absence of light and possibly its color, but do not form an image. Ants that have compound eyes can form an image, but it is a much grainier one than we see, like a poor newspaper photograph. The winged male and female ants have larger and more acute eyes than the workers. The workers of a few species of ants have large compound eyes, but most do not.
More than 10,000 known ant species occur around the world. They are especially prevalent in tropical forests, where they may be up to half of all the insects living in some locations. Ants look much like termites, and the two are often confusedâespecially by nervous homeowners. However, ants have a narrow waist between the abdomen and thorax, which termites do not. Ants also have large heads, elbowed antennae, and powerful jaws. These insects belong to the order Hymenoptera, which includes wasps and bees.
