A human skeleton is made up of bones and cartilage. There are three types of bone cells:

Osteoblasts . . . these cells create permanent bone cells called Osteocytes. Osteoclasts are cells that destroy old Osteocytes, or transfer bone minerals to other body parts. In addition to the bone cells, the bones are made up of a tough, rubbery substance called Collagen. In normal bones, various minerals - calcium, potassium, and so forth are spread throughout the Collagen to give it stiffness and hardness.

What is the tissue group with widely scattered cells?

Connective tissue is the tissue group with widely scattered cells. In connective tissue, cells are separated by an extracellular matrix composed of fibers and ground substance. Examples of connective tissue include loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, and adipose tissue.


Can all four types of body tissue be found in skeletal muscle?

No, skeletal muscle tissue is composed primarily of skeletal muscle cells, which are a type of muscle tissue. Other types of body tissues like epithelial, connective, and nervous tissue are not typically found within skeletal muscle.


Is muscle a connective tissue?

Connective tissue is one which is rich in intercellular substance or interlacing processes with little tendency for the cells to come together in sheets or masses. Aponeuroses is the connective tissue that connect muscles to muscles . Tendons connect skeletal muscles to bones.


What is a tissue that connects tissue called?

Connective tissue binds and supports other tissue. Connective tissue are specialized even further to support cartilage, bone, fat, and even blood cells.


What kinds of cells make up connective tissue?

Blood Cells: 1) Fibroblasts = produce fibers 2) Macrophage = they are phagocytic 3) Adipose = fat cells 4) Mast cells = histamines 5) White blood cells = fight infection 6) Mesenchymal cells = undifferentiated embryonic cells


What can be found in every skeletal muscle?

Mycocytes, muscle cells sometimes called muscle fibers, are individual components that make up skeletal muscle cells. They are formed from the fusion of myoblasts known as myogenesis. They are long, cylindrical, multinucleate cells called myofibers. They are held together by connective tissue. The muscle is attached to tendons and bones,
