examples of CT
A
loose CT, dense-regular CT, dense- irregular CT, adipose, blood, cartilage, bone
6
Q
where do you find dense, CT
A
tendons and ligaments
- mostly made of collagen
7
Q
white vs brown adipose CT
A
white= single lipid droplet
brown is mutliple
8
Q
4 types of tissue

capable of giving rise to any cell- in the embryo- cells that have not yet differentiated
10
Q
