Are divided into 3 categories: Immov-
Joints able, Slightly Movable, and Freely Mov-
able
The tough but flexible tissue that covers
the ends of the bones of freely movable
Cartilage
joints and protects bones by preventing
them from rubbing against each other.
A connective tissue that binds one bone
Ligament
to another
A connective tissue that attaches muscle
Tendon
to bone
It moves all bones and controls facial
Striated Muscle expressions and eye movements. Also
known as skeletal muscle.
Lines the walls of the internal organs
Smooth muscle (such as the intestines). Also known as
visceral muscle.
This is a unique type of muscle. It is a
combination of both striated and smooth

Kidneys dominal cavity on either side of the spine
that are responsible for producing urine.
A tube attached to the kidneys through
