glands lose their ducts; thus they
are often called ductless glands

17
Q

with secretory regions shaped as tubules (small tubes)

A

tubular glands

18
Q

has those shaped in saclike structures

A

Acinar or Alveolar

19
Q

Connects body parts

A

connective tissue

20
Q

It is found everywhere in the body

A

connective tissue

21
Q

It is the most abundant and widely distributed of the tissue types.

A

connective tissue

22
Q

have a poor blood supply

A

tendons and ligaments

23
Q

avascular

A

cartilages

24
Q

are well
vascularized (that is, they have a good blood supply), but there are exceptions

A

connective tissues

25
Q

Connective tissues are made up of many different
types of cells plus varying amounts of a nonliving substance found
outside the cells.

A

extracellular matrix

26
Q

Three types of protein fibers:

A

collagen, reticular, elastic

27
Q

help form connective tissue

A

protein fibers

28
Q

are very strong and flexible, like microscopic ropes,
but are not very elastic

A

collagen fibers

29
Q

are very fine collagen fibers and
therefore not a chemically distinct category of fibers

A

reticular fibers

30
Q

very short, thin fibers that branch to form a network

A

reticular fibers

31
Q

consist of the protein elastin

A

elastic fibers

32
Q

this protein has the ability to return to its original shape after being
stretched or compressed, giving tissue an elastic quality

A

elastic fibers

33
Q

composed largely of water plus some cell
adhesion proteins and large, charged polysaccharide molecules

A

ground substance
