At the end of bones, you have cartilage separating bones from other bones. You have tendons attaching them to other bones or muscles.

The connective tissue at the end of long bones is?
Tendon
Which connective tissue appears glassy and smooth?
The connective tissue that appears to be glassy and smooth is known as hyaline cartilage. It covers the end of the long bones so as to avoid compression.
Why is there cartilage on the end of bones?
Cartilage is connective tissue. So it kind of connects the bones. its also helps in cushioning them
What is a cyst found at the end of long bones?
a bursasolitary bone cyst a pathologic bone space in the metaphyses of long bones of growing children; it may be either empty or filled with fluid and have a delicate connective tissue lining.
What role does the ligament have in the chicken wing?
a chicken wing's ligament is white. it is found at the end of the wing.
What holds bones together at joints?
If you are asking what holds bones together at the joints, it is the tough fibrous band of connective tissue called Ligaments. Ligaments are composed of dense bundles of fibers and spindle-shaped cells (fibroblasts and fibrocytes), with little ground substance. White ligament is rich in sturdy, inelastic collagen fibers, yellow ligament is more elastic.
Is smooth muscle a connective tissue type?
Muscle tissue and connective are different because muscular tissue is specialized for an ability to contract. Muscle cells are elongated and referred to as muscle fibers. When a stimulus is received at one end of a muscle cell, a wave of excitation is conducted through the entire cell so that all parts contract in harmony. There are three types of muscle cells: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissue (Figure 5). Contractions of the skeletal muscles, which are attached to bones, cause the bones to move. Cardiac muscle contracts to force blood out of the heart and around the body. Smooth muscle can be found in several organs, including the digestive tract, reproductive organs, respiratory tract, and the lining of the bladder. Examples of smooth muscle activity are: contraction of the bladder to force urine out, peristaltic movement to move feces down the digestive system, and contraction of smooth muscle in the trachea and bronchi which decreases the size of the air passageway. Connective tissues are specialized to provide support and hold the body tissues together (I've, they connect). They contain more intracellular substances than the other tissues. A variety of connective tissues exist, including blood, bone and cartilage, adipose (fat), and the fibrous and areolar (loose) connective tissues that gives support to most organs (see Figure 3 and Figure 4). The blood and lymph vessels are immersed in the connective tissue media of the body. The blood-vascular system is a component of connective tissue. In addition to connecting the connective tissue plays a major role in protecting the body from outside invaders. The hematopoietic tissue is a form of connective tissue responsible for the manufacture of all the blood cells and immunological capability. Phagocytes are connective tissue cells and produce antibodies. Thus, if invading organisms or xenobiotics get through the epithelial protective barrier, it is the connective tissue that goes into action to defend against them.
What tissue on bones end that absorbs shocks and reduce friction?
Cartilage
What is the Strong smooth tissue which covers the end of bones?
Cartilage
Found in flat bones and end of long bones?
cartilage
Where in the body can the bone cell be found?
Bone cells, which are found within the bone tissue, are responsible for the make-up of the skeleton of vertebrates. There are different types of bone tissue in a bone that are made up of different bone cells: there is the compact tissue which is the hard outer part of the bone, the cancellous tissue which is all the spongy tissue inside of the compact tissue, and the subchondral tissue which is the smooth tissue at the end of each bone. Bone cells all work together inside of the bones to help keep up the skeletal system. The bone cells do many things for the skeletal system such as the development of new bones, the maintenance of bones, and the regulation of minerals in the body.
What type of tissue covers the end of long bones?
articular cartilage Hyaline cartilage
