substance that cells use or
produce.

23
Q

Classified as a type of connective tissue

24
Q

• made up of cells called ____ have
small nuclei localized at the cell
edge.

A

Adipocytes

25
• each cell in adipose tissue contains a large, ____, giving adipose cells the appearance of being empty spaces.
Oil filled vacuole
26
• a type of connective tissue that stores or sequesters food for the body in the form of fat droplets.
Adipose tissue
27
• produce red blood cells in the bone marrow.
Bone
28
• responsible for storing calcium that can be withdrawn by the body as blood calcium levels drop.
Bone
29
• most specialized structural connective tissues, and the strongest of them.
Bone
30
• a connective tissue with a large amount of the matrix and variable amounts of fibers.
Cartilage
31
• contains tightly packed collagen fibers, making it stronger than loose connective tissue.
Dense/fiber connective tissue
32
• loosely scattered cells surrounded by a clear, gelatinous matrix.
Loose connective tissue
33

made up of fibrous cells.
Connective tissue
38
• Tissues that bind organs together, hold organs in place, support body structures, and store nutrients.
Connective tissue
39
• made up of several layers of cells that become flattened when stretched • appear only in the urinary system, primarily in the bladder and ureter.
Transitional epithelium
40
• appear in the respiratory tract. • they exist in one layer, but the arrangement of nuclei at different levels makes it appear that there is more than one layer.
Pesudostrarified columnar epithelium
