What are the 3 types of connective tissue that are palpable?

The three types of connective tissue that are palpable are tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Tendons connect muscle to bone, ligaments connect bone to bone, and fascia is a dense connective tissue that surrounds muscles, blood vessels, and nerves.


What is the difference between outer skeleton and inner skeleton?

The inner skeleton, or endoskeleton, provides an internal structure for organs and other tissue to support itself. An outer skeleton, or exoskeleton protects the animal with a suit of armor, so to speak. Things like snails and lobsters have exoskeletons.


Types of bones?

There are four main types of bones in the human body: long bones (e.g. femur, humerus), short bones (e.g. carpals, tarsals), flat bones (e.g. skull, ribs), and irregular bones (e.g. vertebrae, hip bones). Each type of bone has a specific shape and function in the body.


What two systems act together to facilitate movement and locomotion?

The muscular and skeletal systems work together to facilitate movement and locomotion. The muscles provide the force needed to move the bones at the joints, which serve as the levers for movement. This coordinated effort allows for various types of movement, from simple actions like walking to more complex activities like playing sports.


What does a skeleton do?

Its the frame for our bodies, without it we'd just be like limp rages unable to move, sit, stand, anything. Plus it also serves as protection for our brains and vital organs by wrapping around and encasing them.

What connective tissue separates muscles and surrounds the epimysium?

The connective tissue itself is called Fascia. It not only surrounds muscles and tendons but also organs, nerves and bones--it basically ties the human body together. There are three types of fascia which surround muscles. They are named for how 'deep' they are and how much of a muscle they surround. They are: Endomysium, which surrounds ONE muscle fiber Perimysium, which surrounds a BUNDLE of muscle fibers and Epimysium, a sheet of fascia which covers the ENTIRE muscle. Nerves are also covered with fascia, and the naming scheme for that fascia is similar. -Carol Rivermoon, LMT

What are three types of fascia and their differences?

Fascia-the sheets of fibrous connective tissue that holds muscle fibres together.Epimysium is on the outer layer of the whole muscle (made up of bundles).Fascicles is the name for those bundles of muscles, which is surrounded by perimysium.Individual muscle fibers are surrounded by myofibers.


What is fascia-tough sheet like membrane that covers and protects tissue?

Fascia is a tough, sheet-like membrane composed of connective tissue that envelops and supports muscles, organs, and other structures in the body. It provides structural integrity, allows for movement, and serves as a conduit for nerves and blood vessels. Fascia can be classified into different types, including superficial fascia, deep fascia, and visceral fascia, each serving specific functions in protecting and organizing bodily tissues. Its role is crucial in maintaining overall bodily function and facilitating movement.
