tendons and ligaments
connects organs and muscles
Loose CT: Where is it located? Function?
beneath epithelial tissue of all organ systems with external openings
holds organs in place and binds skin together
Adipose: What is it and what is its function (3)?
fat tissue
insulation, protection, energy storage

joints, outer ear, spine
flexible, resists compression, and enhances bone resilience.
What is nervous tissue composed of, function, and how is it divided?
neurons, senses
transmits signals
anatomical: CNS, PNS
functional: SNS, ANS
What are the three types of muscle tissue?
- skeletal: connects bone for movement
- smooth: inside hollow organs for movement within
- cardiac: only in heart
