1. Osseous/Bone Tissue
Bone tissue is a mineralized, viscous-elastic connective tissue that serves important functions in the body, including tissue support and protection, as well as mineral storage. The bone also take part in our bodies’ hematopoietic and mineral homeostasis processes.
2. Adipose Tissue (Loose Connective Tissue)
A tissue that also serves as filler tissue, cushions, supports, and insulates the body. Adipose tissue is a loose, connective tissue made up of sac-like adipose cells that specialize in fat storage. Adipose cells can be found in the subcutaneous layer of the skin, around the kidneys, within joint padding, and in the marrow of long bones.
3. Cartilage (Hyaline Cartilage)
Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that coats the surfaces of the bones in our joints and cushions them against impact to keep joint motion fluid. It is stiffer and less flexible than muscle tissue, but not as rigid as our bone. The most common type of cartilage in the body is the hyaline cartilage. The ends of the bone surfaces are coated with this smooth, transparent, glassy cartilage, which reduces friction in the joints. It is firmly attached to the bone and is in charge of allowing the bones in a joint to move freely.
