Q

Does connective tissue have its own blood supply?

A

Commonly yes, but some types, such as ligaments, do not.

17
Q

What are some types of connective tissue?

A

Bone, cartilage, adipose, and blood vessel, ligaments

18
Q

What is the purpose of muscle tissue?

A

To produce movement

19
Q

What are the three types of muscle tissue?

A

Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth

20
Q

What kind of movement does skeleton muscle support?

A

Voluntary, since it is connected to bones in the skeletal system

21
Q

What are voluntary movements?

A

Movements consciously controlled by the brain

22
Q

What kind of control is smooth muscle under?

A

Involuntary

23
Q

Where is smooth muscle found?

A

In the walls of hollow organs, such as intestines, blood vessels, bladder, and uterus.

24
Q

How do cardiac muscle move?

A

Involuntarily

25
Q

Where are cardiac muscles found?

A

Only in the heart

26
Q

What does nervous tissue provide?

A

Structure for the brain, spinal cord, and nerves

27
Q

What are nerves made up of?

A

Specialized cells called neurons that send electrical impulses throughout the body

28
Q

What do support cells, such as myelin, do?

A

Help protect nervous tissue
