(a) Adipose tissue
(b) Tendons
(c) Ligaments
(d) Cartilage
(e) Blood
Answers
Answer:
(a) Adipose tissue
The adipose tissue is a central metabolic organ in the regulation of whole-body energy homeostasis. The white adipose tissue functions as a key energy reservoir for other organs, whereas the brown adipose tissue accumulates lipids for cold-induced adaptive thermogenesis.
(b) Tendons
A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.
(c) Ligaments
A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
(d) Cartilage
Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that keeps joint motion fluid by coating the surfaces of the bones in our joints and by cushioning bones against impact.
(e) Blood
Blood has many different functions, including: transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues. forming blood clots to prevent excess blood loss. carrying cells and antibodies that fight infection.
