Connective Tissue

Question 1

Areolar(loose) connective tissue

Answer 1

Gel like matrix with collagen and elastic fiber

Forms of layer to which epithelial cells may bind as in the papillary layer of the dermis

Question 2

Reticular connective tissue

Answer 2

Forms, flexible, internal scaffolding that supports other types of cells

Question 3

Dense, irregular connective tissue

Answer 3

Random arrangement of collagen bundles give the tissue structural strength to resist, tearing in all directions

Question 4

Dense regular connective tissue

Answer 4

Parallel arrangement of collagen bundles gives a tissue great potential strength, in One Direction

Question 5

Adipose tissue

Answer 5

Fat, functions as protective padding, thermal insulation energy storage

Question 6

Hyaline cartilage

Answer 6

Very firm matrix containing collagen fibers this matrix is compressible, which allows the tissue to function as a shock absorber

Question 7

Fibrocartilage

Answer 7

Major contains collagen, fiber like Hyaline cartilage but arrangement of fiber is more regular is a shock absorber with high tensile strength

Question 8

Elastic cartilage

Answer 8

Greater number of elastic fiber, very flexible

Question 9

Platelets

Answer 9

Blood clotting

Question 10

Leukocytes

Answer 10

White blood cells

Question 11

Erythrocytes

Answer 11

Red blood cells

Question 12

Skeleton muscle

Answer 12

Voluntary, we consciously contract these muscles. muscle fibers are long, slender and lie parallel to each other

Question 13

Smooth muscle

Answer 13

Located in the walls of Hollow organs

Fibers are tapered at each end
Involuntary

Question 14

Cardiac muscle

Answer 14

Only found a heart wall, pumping blood through our blood vessels, fibers are branch and have a single central nucleus involuntary

Question 15

Neuron

Answer 15

Capable of generating and conducting electrical impulses
