Connective Tissue

Question 1

Contains elastic fibers and is found in the lungs. This
tissue allows the lungs to inflate during inhalation and return to their original
shape after exhaling.

Answer 1

elastic tissue

Question 2

Packed with parallel bundles of collagen fibers and
found in tendons. This tissue resists pulling forces applied by muscles.

Answer 2

dense regular

Question 3

Has a firm, gelatinous ground substance containing
collagen fibers. This tissue is found in the tracheal wall to support and prevent
the trachea from collapsing.

Answer 3

hyaline cartilage

Question 4

Found under covering and lining epithelium. Its
extracellular matrix contains a loose arrangement of fibers, and its viscous
ground substance facilitates the flow of interstitial fluid containing nutrients
to epithelial tissues. It also cushions and supports epithelium.

Answer 4

areolar

Question 5

Contains many elastic fibers in a firm gelatinous
ground substance. Located in external ear, auditory tube, and epiglottis.

Answer 5

elastic cartilage

Question 6

Hard extracellular matrix forms trabeculae.

Answer 6

spongy/ trabecular bone

Question 7

Forms a framework in the spleen, bone marrow, and
lymph nodes. It contains fine, branching fibers

Answer 7

reticular

Question 8

Is packed with bundles of collagen fibers running in
different directions. It is found in skin and allows skin to resist pulling forces
from many different directions.

Answer 8

dense irregular

Question 9

Fluid extracellular matrix used to transport
substances throughout the body.

Answer 9

blood

Question 10

Contains a large number of lipid-storing cells. It is
found throughout the body, cushions and insulates organs, and stores lipids
for future energy needs

Answer 10

adipose tissue

Question 11

Hard extracellular matrix containing osteons;
involved in protection and support.

Answer 11

compact/ cortical bone

Question 12

Firm gelatinous ground substance packed with
bundles of collagen fibers. This tissue is found in intervertebral discs, pubic
symphysis, and knee meniscus

Answer 12

fibrocartilage

Question 13

Fibroblasts produce extracellular matrix for these
connective tissue types. (6)

Answer 13

areolar, reticular, adipose, dense regular, dense irregular, elastic

Question 14

Osteoblasts produce extracellular matrix. (2)

Answer 14

compact bone, spongy bone

Question 15

Chondroblasts produce extracellular matrix. (3)

Answer 15

hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, fibrocartilage

Question 16

Fibers not present unless injury occurs. Extracellular
matrix not produced by cells present in this tissues.

Answer 16

blood
