Superficial = outside Middle = middle Deep = inside Muscle Movement: ● Flexion (decrease of angle of joints) ● Extension (increase of angle of joints) ● Plantar flexion (flexion at the ankle ● Dorsiflexion (extension at the ankle) ● Hyperextension (over-extension) ● Abduction (Movement away from the midlength) ● Adduction (Movement towards the midline)

Cartilage Cartilage is tough connective tissue but is more flexible than bone, therefore it is located throughout the body, in areas where more flexibility is needed to perform certain functions. For example, cartilage is found between vertebrae to facilitate a degree of flexibility within the vertebral column, and is a component of the external ear to provide a structural frame to catch sound waves. It can also be found at the rib cage which is pictured below. Axial Skeleton: Center Appendicular Skeleton: Limbs

Ligaments: Connect bone to bone Tendons: Connect muscle to bone Joints: Joints are the connection between at least two bones allowing movements to occur, however joints throughout the body have varying degrees of movement. The type of

● Light Microscope: Using a light source and magnifying lens. ● Electron Microscope: Using an electron beam instead of light and has a powerful magnification (see Fig 1.). ● Confocal Laser Microscopy (CLSM): Uses a highly focused laser to image one focal point on the section at a time, slowly building up to take multiple points to produce the desired image. It can also images the multiple different layers of the tissue section building the different slides to create 3D data (see F.
