🗑
3 types of muscle tissue   Skeletal, smooth, cardiac  
🗑
Skeletal/voluntary   Attach to bone or other muscle by way of tendons and controlled by conscious effort  
🗑
Epithelial   Thin tissue layer that forms the skin, organ coverings and inner lining of all the hollow organs  
🗑

🗑
Synovial   Membrane lines the inner joint cavities  
🗑
Tendons   Bands that attach muscles to bones  
🗑
Epithelial tissue   Thin protective layer or covering that functions in the process of absorption, excretion, secretion and protection.  
🗑
Structures closely associated with epithelial tissues   Membranes  
🗑
Function of muscle tissue fibers   Contract their elongated cells which pulls attached ends closer together causing body part to move  
🗑
Smooth muscle tissue   Lacks striation and cannot by stimulated by contract by conscious effort  
🗑
Nervous tissue   Composed of neurons and is found in the brain, spinal cord and associated nerves; initiates, controls and coordinates the body adaptation to its surroundings; neurons for a nerve pathway

🗑
Adipose   Loose connective tissue containing fat cells  
🗑
Reticular   Loose connective tissue that provides framework of liver and other lymphoid organs  
🗑
Fibrocartilage   found between the vertebrae and in the pubic symphysis where strong support and minimal ROM is required, damage tissue is slow because of low vascularity  
🗑
Hyaline   Cartilage consisting of fine white fibers  
🗑
Elastic   Elastic fibers in the matrix  
🗑
Deep Facia   Covers each muscle fiber (endomysium), muscle fascicles (perimysium) the muscle (epimysium) and groups of muscles (investing fascia)  
🗑
Bone   Tissues is connective in which intercellular substance is rendered hard by being impregnated with mineral salts  
🗑

🗑
Liquid connective tissue   Is represented by blood, lymph and interstitial fluid  
🗑
Skin   largest organ of the body and serves as an interface with the environment and protection for the body.  
🗑
Principle functions of skin   Protection, heat regulation, sensation, secretion/excretion, absorption and respiration  
🗑

🗑
Dermis   Deeper layer that extends to form the subcutaneous tissue  
🗑
Collagen   Makes up 70% of dry weight of the skin and gives it strength , form and flexibility
