Select all the reasons connective tissues are grouped together from the options below. You must select more than one!
They are all avascular
They all develop from the same embryonic tissue
They all have an extracellular matrix
What is the embryonic tissue called that all connective tissues develop from?
Ectochyme
Reticular Tissue
Areolar Tissue
Mesenchyme
What is true about the matrix?
It is made of living cells.
It is non-living and not made of cells.
It is found in epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue and connective tissue.
It is always solid.
What is the watery, unstructured material that fills the space between the matrix and the cells called?
Mesenchyme
Ground Substance
Reticulum
Basement Membrane
Match the fiber types to their functions.
These fibers are extremely tough and provides strength to the connective tissues
Collagen Fibers
These fibers are stretchy and bounce back like rubber bands.
Elastic Fibers
These fibers are made of shorter, thinner, branched collagen fibers. They form nets to support your organs.
Reticular Fibers
Organize these tissues by their types
Areolar
Reticular
Adipose
Elastic
Irregular
Regular
Dense connective tissue has (a) spaces in the matrix.
Loose connective tissue has (a) spaces in the matrix.
The most common type of connective tissue in the human body is...
Areolar
Reticular
Irregular Dense
Regular Dense
Match the following matrix characteristics with the appropriate tissue type.
Contains closely packed, parallel collagen fibers running through it.
Regular Dense Connective Tissue
Contains a gel-like ground substance, but lacks collagen & elastic fibers.
Reticular Connective Tissue
Contains very little matrix. Made of tightly packed fat cells.
Adipose
Contains a high number of elastic fibers.
Elastic Connective Tissue
Contains a gel-like ground substance and all 3 fiber types.
Areolar Connective Tissue
The matrix of (a) connective tissue has randomly arranged collagen fibers.Ii
Match the following functions to their tissue types.
Serves as a packing material that wraps and cushions organs
Areolar
Allows tissue to bounce back after stretching
Elastic
Forms a "soft skeleton" that supports other cells
Reticular
Strong when pulled in many directions
Irregular
Strong when pulled in one direction, connects muscles to bones, or bones to bones
Regular
(a) tissue functions as an energy source, insulates body heat, and cushions organs
Match the following locations to the proper tissue type.
Under epithelial tissues and around organs
Areolar
Tendons & ligaments
Regular
Lymph nodes, spleen & bone marrow
Reticular
Walls of arteries, ligaments, connecting vertebrae and lungs
Elastic
Under the skin, around the kidneys & heart
Adipose
