j j j j j
A. It is found just inside the cell membrane in all tissues, it sends branching collagen fibers
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
between cells to connect them, and it transmits chemical information from the interior of one
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
cell to the interior of adjacent cells.
j j j j j j j
B. It is a tissue having more than the four general cell types, it transports proteins and
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
polysaccharides between body compartments, and it is the route by which chemical signals
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
like hormones reach all parts of the body.
