What are the three bands of tissue at the cranial base that become growth sites?

Synchondroses
Ligaments
Tendons
Fasciae

The correct answer is: Synchondroses

The three bands of tissue at the cranial base that become growth sites are known as synchondroses. This is because they are made up of specialized cartilage cells that can expand and grow with the rest of the body. Ligaments, tendons, and fasciae are all types of connective tissue, but they do not serve the same function as synchondroses in providing growth sites for the body. Ligaments mainly serve to connect bones to each other, while tendons connect muscles to bones, and fasciae provide support and protection for muscles and organs. Therefore, they are not considered growth sites like synchondroses and are not the correct answer to this question.
