Q

What does the appearance of connective tissue range from?

A

fibrous to smooth

29
Q

What does connective tissue do?

A

connects one organ/tissue to another

30
Q

A

elastin

33
Q

What are two of the supporting connective tissues?

A

bone and cartilage

34
Q

What does bone give the body?

A

it’s shape, allows for movement, and protects internal organs

35
Q

nerve signals from the nervous system

41
Q

Where is cardiac muscle found?

A

in the heart

42

A

get larger

44
Q

What does cardiac muscle contain more than of skeletal?

A

mitochondria

45
Q

What do cardiac muscle cells have the unique ability to do?

initiate their own contraction

46
Q

What has to be provided for the cardiac muscle cells to continue to beat?

A

oxygen, glucose

47
Q

Does smooth muscle contract faster or slower than skeletal?

A

slower

48
