| Sliding filament theory | actin moves past myosin |
| Pillow-like structure in some synovial joints | bursa |
| The minimal level of stimulation required to cause a fiber to contract _____ | Threshold stimulus |
| Why is cartilage slow to heal? | Because it is semi-solid and flexible and has a no or a limited blood supply |
| Axial skeletal structure | Provides framework for muscles that anchor and stabilize the appendicular bones |

| Proteoglycan found in the matrix of connective tissue | Glucosamine, hyaluronic acid |
| Mesenchyme | connective tissue forms from stem cell tissue |
| Which tissue is most likely to form a keloid scar as it heals? | connective |
