●● Ground Substance
Answer: 1. glycosaminoglycans
2. chondroitin
3. hydroxyapatite
4. protects chondrocytes
5. responsible for the stiffness of cartilage.
●● Adipose Tissue
Answer: 1. stores energy
2. provides thermal insulation
●● Areolar Tissue
Answer: 1. forms the basement membrane of epithelia
2. forms the serous membrane of the lungs.
●● Reticular Tissue
Answer: 1. provides supportive framework for the spleen.
,●● Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Answer: 1. resists tensile forces from one direction.
2. main tissue found in the tendons that help muscles attach to bones.
3. provides a protective enclosure for the viscera.
●● Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Answer: 1. resists tensile forces from several directions.
2. found in the deeper layer of the skin.
●● Decide the outcome of the hypothetical situation.
Answer: Increase:
1. tissue damage will increase if the epidermis of the skin was composed
of non-keratinized tissue.
2. flexibility of the intervertebral discs will increase if the fibrocartilage
was replaced with elastic cartilage.
3. the rate of infection will increase if the epidermis was composed of
pseudo-stratified epithelium.
4. the vascularity of ligaments increase if they were made of bone.
Decrease:
1. diffusion rates of oxygen increase if the alveolar lining of the lungs
were made of stratified epithelium.
, 2. involuntary control digestive motility decrease if the intestines
contained skeletal muscle.
3. elasticity of the ears decrease if the elastic cartilage was replaced with
bone.
4. protection of the brain decrease if the skull was made by hyaline
cartilage.
●● Muscular Tissue
Answer: 1. provides movement of the body segments as well as
movements through the body.
2. heavily vascularized, which denotes as high rates of energy
consumption.
3. smooth, cardiac, and skeletal.
4. excitable cells thats are cylindrical, branching, or spindled shaped.
●● Nervous Tissue
Answer: 1.functions to provide fast forms of communication.
2. contain neurons.
3. electrically excitable
4. can receive and transmit electrical signals.
5. protected by neuroglia.
6. when excited, the cells shown conduct electrical impulses to other
cells.
7. the cells shown are stimulated by changes in membrane potential.
