Chapter 5 - Tissues

Which of these is NOT found in connective tissue?

• collagen fibers
• basement membrane
• reticular fibers
• proteoglycans

Age related changes include all of the following EXCEPT:

• Collagen fibers decrease and become more flexible
• Cell division is slower
• Red blood cell synthesis decreases
• Injury healing time is slower

Which of these connective tissue types is NOT correctly matched with its description?

• dense connective tissue — widely separated collagen fibers running in random directions
• blood — liquid matrix
• fibrocartilage — more collagen and less ground substance than hyaline cartilage
• dense connective tissue — widely separated collagen fibers running in random directions

Which of these substances gives cartilage the ability to spring back after
being compressed?

• proteoglycan aggregates
• elastic fibers
• reticular fibers
• collagen fibers

The fibers in dense connective tissue are produced by

• fibroblast
• osteoclasts
• adipocytes
• osteoblasts

Which of these characteristics apply to smooth muscle?

• unstriated, voluntary
• striated, voluntary
• striated, involuntary
• unstriated, involuntary

A tissue in which cells are located in lacunae surrounded by hard matrix

• nervous tissue
• hyaline cartilage
• bone
• fibrocartilage

Fibrocartilage is found

• on the surface of bones in moveable joints
• in the rib cage
• between vertebrae
• in the cartilage of the trachea

Epithelial cells with microvilli are most likely found

• lining blood vessels
• in the skin
• lining the digestive tract
• lining the lungs

A tissue with collagen fibers, proteoglycans, and chondrocytes is

• blood
• cartilage
• adipose
• bone
