Smooth Muscle

Skeletal muscle

Responding to stimulation and contracting to provide movement

Lining of Gl tract organs

Other hollow organs and the Skin surface (epidermis)

Specialized muscle cells form together to make

Neurons form together to make

Various cells form together to make

Cartilage

Blood

Skeletal Tissue (Bone)

Outer layer or the skin

Lining of the air sacks of the lungs

Cells

Ligaments connect bones to other bones, forming joint

Receives and sends electrical signals in the body

Tendons connect skeletal tissues to skeletal muscles, facilitating movement

Forms the linings, covering, and glandular tissues of the body

Cells in the epithelium are packed tightly to form continuous sheets

Connective tissue protects, supports, and binds together other body tissues

Cells make up tissues
