A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that
Tendon attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also

at the end of your bones reduces friction and
prevents them from rubbing together when you
use your joints.
Bone is a rigid and strong connective tissue
with mineralized extracellular components that

Bone including support, protection of organs,
enabling movement, fat and mineral

hematopoiesis. (Hematopoiesis is the process of
creating a wide variety of blood and bone
marrow cells, namely erythrocytes,
platelets, granulocytes,
lymphocytes, and monocytes.)
