Connective Tissue

Question 1

Matrix as in areolar but very sparse, closely packed adipocytes(fat cells), nucleus pushed to the side function: reserve food fuel, insulated, supports and protects organs location: under skin, around kidneys and eyeballs, in abdomen, in breasts

Answer 1

Loose connective adipose

Question 2

Network of reticular fibers in a typical loose substance function: forms support for other cell types and for immunity location: lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen

Answer 2

Loose connective reticular

Question 3

Small network

Answer 3

Reticular

Question 4

Primarily fibers, less open space function: binds things and has a great tensile stress(attaches) location: tendons, most ligaments, aponeurons

Answer 4

Dense regular connective

Question 5

Irregularly arranged collagen fibers, some elastic fibers, cell type fibroblast function: able to withstand tension exerted in many directions location: joint capsules; dermis of the skin; digestive tract

Answer 5

Dense irregular connective

Question 6

Dense elastic fibers function: recoils and stretches location: walls of large arteries, ligaments with vertebral column, walls of bronchial tubes

Answer 6

Dense elastic connective

Question 7

Gel like matrix with all three fiber types but sparse cells loosely joined, lots of airy space function: wraps and cushions organs, important role in inflammation and immunity, holds tissue fluid location:under epithelial, forms membranes, packages organs, surrounds capillaries

Answer 7

Loose connective areolar
