Skeletal muscle
Responding to stimulation and contracting to provide movement
Lining of Gl tract organs

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
