Answer 11

deep to the skin, fat, provides paddings and cushions shocks, insulates; located in the buttocks, and breast; padding around eyes and kidneys

Question 12

Dense Regular Connective Tissue

Answer 12

provides firm attachment, conducts pull of muscles, reduces friction between muscles; located in tendons and ligaments

Question 13

Dense Irregular Connective Tissue

Answer 13

provides strength to resist forces from many directions; located in the dermis

Question 14

Hyaline Cartilage

Answer 14

Provides stiff but still flexible support and reduces friction between bony surfaces; located between joints and tips of ribs and bones of the sternum

Question 15

Fibrocartilage

Answer 15

resists compression, prevents bone-to-bone contact, and limits movement; located in pads within knee joints and intervertebral discs

Question 16

Elastic Cartilage

Answer 16

provides support but tolerates distortion without damage and returns to original shape; located in auditory canal and epiglottis

Question 17

fluid connective tissue with formed elements

Question 21

Body membranes

Answer 21

formed from epithelial layer bound to underlying CT, line body cavities

Question 22

Mucous Membrane

Answer 22

Mucosa, lines compartments that open to the external environment; digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts; performs absorptive, protective, and secretory functions

Question 23

Serous Membrance

Answer 23

lines body cavities that do not open to the external environment, form parietal and visceral layers, this layer is in between; reduces friction between opposing surfaces

Question 24

Cutaneous Membrane

Answer 24

skin; covers external surface of body; protects internal organs and prevents water loss

Question 25

Synovial Membrane

Answer 25

Lines joints in body, distributes nutrients to cartilage
