What is the main defference between ligaments and tendons?
Ligaments connect bones to bones. Tendons connect bones to muscle.
What are the five main categories of human body tissue?
There is epithelial tissue which covers and lines, connective tissue which connects to other tissues such as muscles to bone, muscular tissue which contracts and moves, nervous tissue which carries information, osseous which makes bone, blood tissue which makes three types of blood cells, and adipose tissue which stores fat.
What type of tissue is skin mostly made of?
The skin tissue is made of three main layers: the epidermis (suface), the dermis (subsurface), and a subcutaneous tissue (inside, where blood vessels run through)
What is the main 4 types of tissue found in your body?
the heart organ is made of which types of tissue
Proteins is considered the building blocks what?
Proteins are the main building blocks for tissues including muscle, hair, nails, skin, eyes, internal organs, nerves, ligaments, tendons, cartilage and membranes. They are also the building blocks of cells, cellular membranes, organelles--all the way to the level of DNA and genes.
What is the main defference between ligaments and tendons?
Ligaments connect bones to bones. Tendons connect bones to muscle.
What is the function of the dense connective tissue?
Dense connective tissue consists of many closely packed, thick, collagenousfibers and a fine network of elastic fibers.Collagenousfibers of dense connective tissue are very strong, enabling the tissue to withstand pulling forces. As parts of tendons and ligaments, dense connective tissue binds muscle to bone and bone to bone. This type of tissue is also in the protective white layer of the eyeball and in the deeper skin layers. The blood supply to dense connective tissue is poor, slowingtissue repair.The main function of dense connective tissue is to hold different structures to one another. For example, ligaments are the type of dense connective tissue that connect bones together.
Why protein is main structural protein?
Proteins build our cells, tissues and there by body. Muscle protein actin and myosin are responsible for muscle contraction. collagen is an important protein of connective tissue such ligaments, tendons, bones and teeth.
Why are there more indirect-that is tendinous-muscles attachments to bone then there are direct attachments?
Tendons are very versitile. They are made of collagenous tissue which is highly resistant to extension and also relatively flexible. The main attachment sites of skeletal muscles are tendons. Tendons are the main attachment type for skeletal muscle to bone or cartilage. Tendons are by far the most important tissue for attachment and are present wherever the point of insertion is distant or the muscle must exert its forces of contraction across a joint.
What holds muscles onto bones?
Tendons hold muscle to bone. (Ligaments hold bone to bone.)
What are bones used for?
As the main support structure of the body as the skeleton; as a foundation for ligaments and tendons and muscles to attach. To produce bone marrow for cellular growth, such as blood cells from bone marrow.
What are the starting symptoms of spondylitis?
The main symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis are:back pain and stiffnessbuttock paininflammation (swelling) of the joints (arthritis)painful inflammation where tendons or ligaments attach to bone (enthesitis)fatigue (extreme tiredness)
What type of tissue is the mouth made up of?
The mouth is made up of many different tissue. The main tissue is 'Dominus Artiquais' which is latin for 'bum tissue.
What are the main organs of the skeleton system?
The main organs are... Bones - give the body its structure, and are made of calcium, and filled with bone marrow. Cartilage - makes up the ears, and nose, is found in between the vertabrae, and acts as cushioning in between joints. Tendons - these connect muscle to other muscles. (think "meat tenderizer") Ligaments - these connect muscle to bone.
What is the main nutrient in gelatine?
The main ingredients of some types are cow and pig bones, cartilage and/or tendons. Some are made from seaweed.
What are the five main categories of human body tissue?

What is the main cause of jaw pain?
Jaw pain could be a symptom of TMJ, fibromyalgia, arthritis, sinus infections, teeth grinding, swollen glands, or dental problems.
