all the bones in the body; forms an internal living framework that provides shape and support, protects internal organs, moves bones, forms blood cells, and stores calcium and phosphorus compounds for later use

tough, tight-fitting membrane that covers a bones' surface and contains blood vessels that transport nutrients into the bone

thick, smooth, flexible tissue layer that covers the ends of bones, makes movement easier by reducing friction, and absorbs shock

any place where two or more bones come together' can be movable or immovable

tough band of tissue that holds bones together at joints

an organ that can relax, contract, and provide the force to move your body parts

muscles that you can consciously control

muscles you can't control consciously

muscles that are attached to bones and cause movement when contracted; has striations under a microscope

thick bands of tissue that attach muscles to bone

involuntary muscle found only in the heart; has striations under a microscope

involuntary, non-striated muscle found in intestines, bladder, blood vessels, and other internal organs

protective layer of tissue also involved in sensory response, formation of vitamin D, regulation of body temperature, and ridding the body of wastes

outer, thinnest layer of skin; outer layer is dead and water-repellant

pigment that protects your skin from UV rays in sunlight and gives it color

layer of skin directly under epidermis; thicker and has many blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and sweat and oil glands

cartilage	thick, smooth, flexible tissue layer that covers the ends of bones, makes movement easier by reducing friction, and absorbs shock
joint	any place where two or more bones come together' can be movable or immovable
ligament	tough band of tissue that holds bones together at joints
muscle	an organ that can relax, contract, and provide the force to move your body parts
voluntary muscle	muscles that you can consciously control
involuntary muscle	muscles you can't control consciously
skeletal muscle	muscles that are attached to bones and cause movement when contracted; has striations under a microscope
tendon	thick bands of tissue that attach muscles to bone
cardiac muscle	involuntary muscle found only in the heart; has striations under a microscope
smooth muscle	involuntary, non-striated muscle found in intestines, bladder, blood vessels, and other internal organs
skin	protective layer of tissue also involved in sensory response, formation of vitamin D, regulation of body temperature, and ridding the body of wastes
