Answer 5

mesenchymal, fibrocytes, fibroblasts
reticular
l: kidney, liver, spleen
f: framework

Question 6

cells, fibers, location, and function of dense regular tissue

Answer 6

mesenchymal, fibrocytes, fibroblasts
collagen
l: tendons and ligaments
f: keeps bones aligned and attached with muscles

Question 7

cells, fibers, location, and function of dense irregular tissue

Answer 7

mesenchymal, fibrocytes, fibroblasts
collagen (sometimes elastic in dermis)
l: dermis
f: stretch, recoil, supports stress from different angles

Question 8

cells, fibers, location, and function of elastic tissue

Answer 8

mesenchymal, fibrocytes, fibroblasts
elastic
l: wall of blood vessels, in the ligaments used to stabilize your vertebrate
f: recoil, pressure adjustments, stability

Question 9

what are the types of fluid connective tissue

Answer 9

blood and lymph

Question 10

cells, location, and function of blood

Answer 10

mesenchymal, red blood cells (erythrocytes)
l: inside blood vessels
f: transport oxygen, co2, h20, hormones, nutrients, etc.

Question 11

cells, location, and function of lymph

Answer 11

white blood cells
l: inside of lymphatic vessels
f: carries white blood cells, bacteria, and debris to lymphatic organs

Question 12

what are the types of supporting c.t

Answer 12

cartilage and bone

Question 13

cells, fibers, location, and function of bone/ osseous tissue

Answer 13

mesenchymal, osteocytes, osteoblasts
collagen (33%)
l: skeleton
f: support body, protect vital organs

Question 14

what are the different types of cartilage

Answer 14

hyaline, fibro, elastic

Question 15

cells, fibers, location, and function of hyaline cartilage

Answer 15

mesenchymal, chondrocytes, chondroblasts (avascular)
collagen
l: nasal septum, voice box, ribs connecting to sternum
f: support, framework, structure, connect and reduce friction between joints

Question 16

cells, fibers, location, and function of fibro cartilage

Answer 16

mesenchymal, chondrocytes, chondroblasts (avascular)
collagen
l: intervertebral discs in between pubic bones
f: support, framework, structure, connect and reduce friction between joints

Question 17

cells, fibers, location, and function of elastic cartilage

Answer 17

mesenchymal, chondrocytes, chondroblasts (avascular)
elastic
l: ear, epiglottis
f: support, framework, structure, connect and reduce friction between joints

Question 18

what are the types of muscle tissue

Answer 18

skeletal, cardiac, smooth

Question 19

what are the characteristics of skeletal muscle

Answer 19

voluntary, multiple nuclei, striated, attached to bones, used for movement of the skeleton

Question 20

what are the characteristics of cardiac muscle

Answer 20

involuntary, uninucleate, striated (intercalated discs), found in heart, used to pump blood through body

Question 21

what are the characteristics of smooth muscle

Answer 21

involuntary, uninucleate, no striations, located around hollow organs like digestive tract and blood vessels, and allows substances to move from one place to another
