Musculoskeletal Tissue Structure and Biology
摘要
The musculoskeletal system consists of bone, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Each of these tissues has unique components to facilitate their function within the body. A common feature among them is their hierarchical structure and how their structure supports their function. In this chapter, we will provide an overview of the cellular and matrix constituents of bone, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.
