

Gives form to the organism
Stores minerals such as calcium
Serves as attachment points
for muscles
Protects vital organs

associated with connective tissue that is
involved in human locomotion?
1)Tendonitis
2)Bronchitis
3)Diabetes
4)Meningitis

1)Tendonitis
Muscle Attachment to Bone




Muscles are attached to bone by
connective tissue called tendons.
Muscles are attached in opposing pairs.
One Muscle contracts to raise the limb,
while the second will contract to lower it.
Bicep / Triceps
