1. What are tendons
2. Name the different types of animal tissues.
Answers
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.
There are four types of tissues found in animals: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.
Answer:
Explanation:
1.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 ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
2.Types of animal tissue:
- epithelial tissue.
Epithelial tissues are widespread throughout the body. They form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands. Epithelial cells may be squamous, cuboidal, or columnar in shape and may be arranged in single or multiple layers.
- connective tissue.
Tissue that supports, protects, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body. Connective tissue is made up of cells, fibres, and a gel-like substance. Types of connective tissue include bone, cartilage, fat, blood, and lymphatic tissue.
- muscle tissue.
Muscle tissue is a soft tissue that composes muscles in animal bodies, and gives rise to muscles' ability to contract. This is opposed to other components or tissues in muscle such as tendons or perimysium. Striated or skeletal muscle only contracts voluntarily, upon the influence of the central nervous system.
- nervous tissue.
Nervous tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities. The cells in nervous tissue that generate and conduct impulses are called neurons or nerve cells. These cells have three principal parts: the dendrites, the cell body, and one axon.
