Question 18

stratified columnar epithelium function

Answer 18

protection

Question 19

areolar connective tissue location

Answer 19

deep to the dermis of skin, covered by epithelial lining of digestive, respiratory system, and urinary tract; between muscles; around joints, blood vessels, and nerves

Question 20

areolar connective tissue function

Answer 20

Cushions organs; provides support but permits independent movement; phagocytic cells provide defense against pathogens

Question 21

Fibroblasts

Answer 21

In connective tissue, cells that secrete the proteins of the fibers.

Question 22

collagen fibers

Answer 22

provides flexibility and strength

Question 23

elastic fibers

Answer 23

Flexible and “stretchy” fibers that add elasticity to tissue

Question 24

Answer 24

Deep to the skin, especially at sides, buttocks, breasts; padding around eyes and kidneys

Question 25

adipose tissue function

Answer 25

padding, insulation, energy storage

Question 26

reticular tissue location

Answer 26

liver, kidney, spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow

Question 27

reticular tissue function

Answer 27

provides supporting framework

Question 28

dense irregular tissue location

Answer 28

Between skeletal muscles and skeleton; between bones or stabilizing position of internal organs; covers skeletal muscles, deep fasciae

Question 29

dense regular connective tissue function

Answer 29

Provides firm attachment; conducts pull of muscles; reduces friction between muscles; stabilizes relative positions of both

Question 30

dense irregular connective tissue location

Answer 30

capsules of visceral organs, periostea and perichondria, nerve and muscle sheaths, dermis

Question 31

dense irregular connective tissue functions

Answer 31

Provides strength to resist forces applied from many directions; helps prevent overexpansion of organs such as the urinary bladder

Question 32

elastic tissue location

Answer 32

between vertebrae of spinal column, ligaments supporting penis, ligaments supporting transitional epithelia; in blood vessel walls

Question 33

elastic tissue function

Answer 33

Stabilizes positions of vertebrae and penis, cushions shocks, permits expansion and contraction of organs

Question 34

hyaline cartilage location

Answer 34

Between tips of ribs and bones of sternum; covering bone surfaces at synovial joints; supporting larynx (voice box), trachea, and bronchi; forming part of nasal septum

Question 35

hyaline cartilage function

Answer 35

provides stiff but somewhat flexible support; reduces friction between bony surfaces

Question 36

elastic cartilage location

Answer 36

Auricle of external ear; epiglottis; auditory canal; cuneiform cartilages of larynx

Question 37

elastic cartilage function

Answer 37

provides support, but tolerates distortion without damage and returns to original shape

Question 38

Fibrocartilage location

Answer 38

Pads within knee joint; between pubic bones of pelvis; intervertebral discs

Question 39

fibrocartilage function

Answer 39

resists compression; prevents bone-to-bone contact; limits movement

Question 40
