Quiz 2 - Subclassifications of CT proper

Question 1

loose connective tissue contain…

Answer 1

areolar, adipose, and reticular

Question 2

areolar

Answer 2

open framework; connects skin to muscle; around blood vessels, nerves and joints; resilient (can be stretched and distorted)

Question 3

adipose

Answer 3

cushions and insulates; stores energy (fat cell/tissue)

Question 4

reticular

Answer 4

open, supporting framework

Question 5

regular dense connective tissue

Answer 5

collagen fibers are packed tightly and aligned parallel to forces - consist of tendons, aponeuroses, elastic tissue and ligaments

Question 6

tendons

Answer 6

connects muscle to bone

Question 7

ligaments

Answer 7

connects bone to bone

Question 8

aponeuroses

Answer 8

connects muscle to muscle or covers entire muscle

Question 9

elastic tissue

Answer 9

resilient, connect vertebrae; also in blood vessels

Question 10

fluid connective tissue

Answer 10

consists of cartilage (hyaline, elastic, fibrous)

Question 11

cartilage

Answer 11

provide a strong framework that supports rest of body

Question 12

hyaline

Answer 12

most common and weakest type

• flexible support
• between ribs and sternum; articular cartilages at joints

Question 13

elastic

Answer 13

closely packed elastic fibers

• flexible support
• pinna, larynx

Question 14

fibrous

Answer 14

abundant collagen fibers

• resists compression; absorbs shocks
• between spinal vertebrae and pubic bones; around and within joints and tendons

Question 15

Other types of tissue

Answer 15

muscle tissue (skeletal, cardiac, smooth) and neural tissue

Question 16

skeletal muscle tissue

Answer 16

long, striated, multinucleate; voluntary control

Question 17

cardiac muscle tissue

Answer 17

short, striated, branched, mononuclear; involuntary control

Question 18

smooth muscle tissue

Answer 18

short, non-striated, spindle-shaped, mononuclear; involuntary control (found in hollow organs and vessels)

Question 19

neural tissue

Answer 19

specialized to conduct electrical signals through the body
