Is found in ligaments and tendons, is almost entirely collagen with bundles arranged in parallel. Covers the articulating ends of bone, most abundant type of connective tissue. Contains little elastin, resists stretching in all directions, creates sheaths around muscles and nerves. Contains a random orientation of relaxed fibers and can tolerate ~200% strain. Contains a parallel orientation of taught fibers and can only tolerate approximately 10% strain. Contains little collagen and a lot of elastin, is elastic in all directions, found in the trachea and bronchial tubes. Contains parallel elastin fibers, "stretch ligaments". Multi-layered structure with high collagen content. Serves as force attenuators, increases surface area in joints, provides stability.

Match the Tissue with the appropriate description by selecting the number for the description. Answers Tissues Connective Description: This tissue is highly cellular with little or no extracellular matrix. Cells are of different sizes and resting on the basement membrane. Multiple layers of various shaped cells, top layer with squamous cells. Tissue: Fibroblasts Simple Squamous Epithelium Alveolar CT This tissue contains more extracellular fluid than cells. It lines the ureter and urinary bladder. It can change its thickness to allow distension. Stratified squamous nonkeratinized epithelium Fibrocartilage Dense Irregular CT Provides support and acts as packaging material. Lines alveoli and provides a thin layer to help in the diffusion of air. Makes up the layer of skin and is made up of bundles of collagen fibers running in different directions. Located in the intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, and discs of the knee joint. Most common cells of connective tissue in animals. It plays a critical role in wound healing. They synthesize the extracellular matrix and collagen. Epithelium Transitional Epithelium Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
