Undigested materials are excreted as feces

Transports oxygen and nutrients to body cells. (Have a liquid matrix called plasma)

The combination of cells and liquid that flows through blood vessels in the cardiovascular system. Made up of red blood cells

Provides support for body. (osteocytes

A type of connective tissue consisting of living cells in a matrix rich in collagen and calcium.

In the heart

branched cylindrical cells

flexible

Connective tissue found in the skeletal system that is rich in collagen fibers.

6 types; composed of cells and specialized matrix

the body has a system of organs for digestion

circulatory system

typically anchored on one face

Tightly packed sheets of cells that line organs and body cavities.

Which of the following tissues is found in the outer surface of skin?

tightly packed sheets of cells

transports food from pharynx to stomach by waves of muscle contractions called peristalsis.

Forms the tendons and ligaments. (fibroplasts

A dense tissue found in tendons and ligaments composed largely of collagen fibers.
