What are five different types of tissues?
As you may already understand there are many different types of 'tissue' in the body so I hope these will act as a general selection. Heart Tissue Liver Tissue Lung Tissue Brain Tissue / Nerve Tissue Pancreatic Tissue Almost every organ has tissue which is used to bind the organs together acting as a secondary support for organs. I wonder who says that there are only five: bone, connective, neural, muscle, organ, blood vessels and probably more.
Distinguish between tendons and ligament?
Tendons join muscles to bones in the body, whereas ligaments join bones to each other. The term ligament is also used loosely in medical anatomy to mean various types of suspensory structures, such as the broad ligament of the uterus which isn't really a ligament at all, rather a double-fold of the peritoneum.

What is the abundant protein in the human body?
The single most abundant protein in the human body is Collagen. It is the main component of connective tissue, making up about 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content. It is mostly found in fibrous tissues such as tendon, ligament and skin, and is also abundant in cornea, cartilage, bone, blood vessels, the gut, and intervertebral disc.In muscle tissue it serves as a major component of endomysium. Collagen constitutes 1% to 2% of muscle tissue, and accounts for 6% of the weight of strong, tendinous muscles. Gelatin, which is used in food and industry, is collagen that has been irreversibly hydrolyzed.
What happens to bone tissue if not used?
