Loose Connective Tissue
Fibrous (Dense) Connective Tissue
Bone
Cartilage
Adipose Tissue
Blood
What is the connective tissue made of?
Collagen
Name the function of loose connective tissue
Holds organs in place, binds epithelial tissue to underlying tissues, allows diffusion of nutrients/wastes

Attachment of tendons to ligaments
What is bone made of?
Calcium phosphate
What is the function for bone?
Support and protection, mineral storage, anchors muscles
What is cartilage made of?
Chondrocytes
What is the function of cartilage?
Cushioning, support, reduces friction at joints
What is adipose tissue made of?
Fat cells
What is the function of adipose tissue?
Energy storage, insulation, cushioning of organs
What is blood made of?
Plasma with red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
What is the function of blood?
Transport of gases, nutrients, wastes, immune defense
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue?
Skeletal Muscle
Cardiac Muscle
Smooth Muscle
What is the structure of skeletal muscle like?
Long, striated cylindrical fibers
What is the function of skeletal muscle?
Voluntary movement, body posture, produces heat
What is the structure of cardiac muscle?
Striated, connected by intercalated discs
What is the function of cardiac muscle?
Involuntary pumping of blood, generating heartbeat rhythm
What is the structure of smooth muscle?
Not striated, spindle-shaped cells
What is the function of smooth muscle?
Involuntary movements, moves substances through internal organs, controls diameters of blood vessels and airways
