A

tissue in tonsils, adenoid, and lymph nodes

56
Q

dense connective tissues

A
  • tendons
  • ligaments
  • fascia
57
Q

tendons - (dense connective tissues)

A
  • tough, non elastic cords

- attach muscles to bone, muscles to cartilage or muscles to muscles

58
Q

ligaments - (dense connective tissues )

A
  • some elasticity that tie structures together
  • skeletal ligaments join bone to bone, bone to cartilage, cartilage to cartilage
  • visceral ligaments tie organs together and keep them in place
59
Q

fascia - (dense connective tissues)

A

separates muscles into functional groups

60
Q

specialized tissue

A
  • cartilage
  • blood
  • bone
61
Q
