3 types of connective tissue
muscular, skeletal, nervous
2 proteins of connective tissue
collagen- strength, elastin- elasticity
7 types of connective tissue
bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, fascia, muscle, scar tissue
What is bone made up of?
Collagen- living tissue
collagen
Protein that provides soft framework, make bones strong and flexible for stressses of body
cartilage
firm tissue, softer more flexible tan bone, between bone and joint
ligament
connect bone to bone, create stability and hold structure together
tendon
connect muscle to bone (or structures re: eyeball)

pelvis moves to front
posterior
pelvis moves to back
lateral
outer/external
medial
inside/internal toward midline
fascia
band of connective tissue - attach, stabilize, close, separate muscles and organs
muscles
band of fibers/connective tissue
3 types of muscles
cardiac (heart walls- involuntarily contracts), smooth (walls of hollow visceral organs), skeletal (attached to skeleton)
4 functions of skeletal muscles
force generation for movement, force generation of breathing, force generation for postural support, heart production
3 types of muscle contractions
eccentric (lengthen), concentric (shorten), isometric (remain the same)
