How to say "ligament" in Japanese

• じん帯じんたい
  nounCovers the anatomical sense of 'ligament': the tough band of tissue that connects bones, as discussed for sprains and joint injuries in medical or sports contexts.
  もし気きを付つけなければ彼女かのじょはそんなことをしているうちに靭帯じんたいを切きってしまうだろう。↗

  If she's not careful she'll tear a ligament doing that.
• 間膜かんまく
  nounA specialized anatomical term for a membranous fold that anchors or suspends an internal organ; it matches 'ligament' only in that narrow sense and is not the word for the bone-connecting tissue.

Use 「じん帯」 for the anatomical ligament, the tough tissue linking bones, as in sports or medical contexts; 間膜 is a narrower anatomical term for membranous folds that suspend internal organs, not the general word.
