Q

Made up of cells called reticulocytes and matrix that contains reticular fibers. Give support to soft organs as the spleen, lymph nodes, and liver. Provide framework for bone marrow and lymphoid (blood-cell making organs)

A

Reticular Connective Tissue

17
Q

Reticular connective tissue is made up of cells called what?

A

Reticulocytes

18
Q

Found in large arteries such as the aorta, bronchial tubes, and in the ligaments of vertebral column. Highly elastic and can stretch 1.5 times and then recoil.

A

Elastic Connective Tissue

19
Q

With flattened fibroblast cells with a matrix containing elastic fibers and interspersed collagen fibers.

A

Elastic Connective Tissue

20
Q

Elastic connective tissue can stretch up to how many times and then recoil?

A

1.5 times

21
Q

Special types of connective tissues that store fats. Appear as translucent fat globules. Are found anywhere in the body, specially in empty spaces.

A

Adipose tissues

22
Q

Serves as energy reservoirs for organs and may provide insulation. Found in the subcutaneous layer of the skin help shape, cushion, and insulate the body. Kidneys, heart, and orbit of the eyes are all cushioned by this.

A

Adipose tissues

23
Q

With cells called chondrocytes

A

Cartilage

24
Q

Separated by a strong flexible made up of a substance called chondrin (a protein-carbohydrate complex)

A

Chondrocytes

25
Q

In humans: found in the ears, nose, and joints. It forms embryonic skeleton of vertebrates and the adult skeleton of sharks.

A

Cartilage

26
Q

Gives strength, support, and protection to the soft parts of the body.

A

Cartilage

27
Q

Hardened connective tissue containing osteocytes.

A

Bones

28
Q

Serve as the structural framework of the body. Needed for movement and locomotion.

A

Bones

29
Q

A matrix w/ collagen fibers and minerals

A

Osteocytes

30
Q

Filled with bone marrow. Reservoir for calcium

A

Bones

31
Q

This is where blood cells are produced.

A

Bone marrow

32
Q

With a liquid matrix called the blood plasma

A

Blood

33
