Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many parts of the body. It can bend a bit, but resists stretching. Its main function is to connect bones together. It is also found in the joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the throat and between the bones of the back.

Tendon is a highly organized connective tissue joining muscle to bone, capable of resisting high tensile forces while transmitting forces from muscle to bone. The dense, regularly arranged collagenous tissue is made up of fibers, cells of various shapes and ground substance.

A joint is defined as the juncture where two or more bones come together for the purpose of movement or for stability. ... They know the structure and function of the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and blood supply for the joint.

Most red blood cells, platelets, and most of the white blood cells are formed in the red marrow. Yellow bone marrow produces fat, cartilage, and bone. Blood cell formation from differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells in red bone marrow.

# data[].attributes.body
The major function of bone marrow is to generate blood cells. Bone marrow contains two main types of stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells, found in red marrow, are responsible for the production of blood cells.

Cancellous bone is made up of spongy, porous, bonetissue that is filled with red bone marrow. It is not as strong as cortical bone, which is found in the long bones, but it is very important for producing blood cells. It is found in the ends of long bones and in the bones of the pelvis, ribs, vertebrae, and skull.

Inside each osteon is a space called a central canal, which houses blood vessels and nerves within the bone. These vessels supply blood to the interior spongy bone as well as the living cells housed within the compact bone.

The periosteum is a connective tissue that supports bone health and development. The thin tissue has two layers that function in different ways. The outer layer, known as the fibrous periosteum, allows for attachment of muscle tissue to the bone and provides pathways for blood and lymphatic tissues.

In human anatomy, the main role of the wrist is to facilitate effective positioning of the hand and powerful use of the extensors and flexors of the forearm, and the mobility of individual carpal bones increase the freedom of movements at the wrist

# data[].attributes.body
The metacarpals are long bones within the hand that are connected to the carpals, or wrist bones, and to the phalanges, or finger bones. The metacarpals together are referred to as the 'metacarpus.' The tops of the metacarpals form the knuckles where they join to the wrist

The fibula is the long, thin and lateral bone of the lower leg. It runs parallel to the tibia, or shin bone, and plays a significant role in stabilizing the ankle and supporting the muscles of the lower leg. Compared to the tibia, the fibula is about the same length, but is considerably thinner.

The collarbone, a large doubly curved long bone that connects the arm to the trunk of the body. Located directly above the first rib it acts as a strut to keep the scapula in place so that the arm can hang freely. Medially, it articulates with the manubrium of the sternum (breastbone) at the sternoclavicular joint.

The patella, also known as the kneecap, is a thick, circular-triangular bone which articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint.

The major function of the vertebral column is protection of the spinal cord; it also provides stiffening for the body and attachment for the pectoral and pelvic girdles and many muscles. In humans an additional function is to transmit body weight in walking and standing.

The scapula is commonly referred to as the shoulder blade. It connects the humerus bone of the arm to the collarbone. There are only three muscles that are responsible for enabling the movement of the shoulder blade. The trapezius muscle implants into the collarbone.

. It encloses and protects the heart and lungs. It provides a strong framework onto which the muscles of the shoulder girdle, chest, upper abdomen and back can attach.

the sternum is a long flat bone located in the center of the chest. it forms the rib cage. it also helps protect the hear, lungs and other major organs.

the femur is the longest and the strongest bone in the body. it is located in the thigh. it usually takes a lot of force to break.

the humerus is located in the upper arm bone between the elbow and the shoulder. it connects to the ulna and the wrist. the humerus is one of the longest bones in the body.

# data[].attributes.body
it works together with the ulna to give the wrist movement. The ulna primarily connects with the humerus at the elbow joint, while the radius primarily junctions with the carpal bones of the hand at the wrist joint.

# data[].attributes.body
The ulna is one of two bones that give structure to the forearm.It joins with the humerus on its larger end to make the elbow joint, and joins with the carpal bones of the hand at its smaller end. the ulna allows the wrist to have movement

The bones of the cranium include the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. the top part of the skull is to protect the brain. its made of 8 different bones.

an osteoblast is a cell that secretes the matrix for bone formation. they build the bone. Bone mass is maintained by a balance between the activity of osteoblasts that form bone and other cells called osteoclasts that break it down.

Osteoclasts are derived from the same stem cells that make blood cells (red blood cells, various white blood cells, platelets, etc).

Cartilage connective tissue is important because it provides support, but is less rigid than bone. It also allows for some flexibility of movement, but has more stability than muscle. The extracellular matrix of cartilage is produced by cells called chondroblasts.
