allow muscles to pull on bones for movement
not elestic
ligaments functions

Elastic or stretchy
cartilage functions
A soft tissue which covers the end of bones
Reduces friction of bones, rubbing together when moving

Inhalation – the process of breathing in
– rib cage pulled up for an outwards
– Diaphragm contracts and moves downwards
– Volume in the lungs increases
– Air moves into the lungs
exhalation – the process of breathing out
– Rib cage, pulled downwards and inwards
– Diaphragm relaxes and moves upwards into a dome
– In the lungs decreases
– Air Moves out of the lungs
adaptions of the lungs
– Lots of blood vessels to take away, oxygenated blood
– Thin walls in the alveoli to reduce distance of diffusion
– Alveoli create a large surface area
– Moist
