5.. Using key choices, identify the following connective tissue types. Insert the appropriate letter or corresponding term in the answer blanks. Key Choices A. Adipose connective tissue C. Dense fibrous connective tissue E. Reticular connective tissue B. Areolar connective tissue D. Osseous tissue F. Hyaline cartilage 1. Provides great strength through parallel bundles of collagenic fibers; found in tendons 2. Acts as a storage depot for fat 3. Composes the dermis of the skin 4. Forms the bony skeleton 5. Composes the basement membrane and packages organs; includes a gel-like matrix with all categories of fibers and many cell types 6. Forms the embryonic skeleton and the surfaces of bones at the joints; reinforces the trachea 7. Provides insulation for the body 8. Structurally amorphous matrix, heavily invaded with fibers; appears glassy and smooth 9. Contains cells arranged concentrically around a nutrient canal; matrix is hard due to calcium salts 10. Forms the stroma or internal "skeleton" of lymph nodes, the spleen, and other lymphoid organs

Step 1
This description matches **C. Dense fibrous connective tissue**, as tendons are primarily composed of collagen fibers that provide strength and flexibility. So, the answer to the first statement is C. Show more…

Use the key to classify each of the following described tissue types into one of the four major tissue categories. Key: (a) connective tissue (b) enithelium (c) muscle (d) nervous tissue _____(1) Tissue type composed largely of nonliving extracellular matrix; important in protection and support _____(2) The tissue immediately responsible for body movement _____(3) The tissue that enables us to be aware of the external environment and to react to it _____(4) The tissue that lines body cavities and covers surfaces
Identify the tissue in the key that matches the description. Each answer may be used more than once. Key: a. epithelial tissue c. muscular tissue b. connective tissue d. nervous tissue contains actin and myosin filaments
Multiple-choice/True-false/Matching: 1. Bone to bone fibrous connections are called: a) tendons b) aponeuroses c) ligaments d) muscles e) adipose 2. What kind of muscle cell is relatively short with a centrally located nucleus and is tapered on both ends? a) skeletal b) cardiac c) smooth 3. What kind of muscle cell is characterized by involuntary control and has a striated or banded appearance? a) skeletal b) cardiac c) smooth 4. The ability of muscle tissue to return to its original shape after extension is: a) tetanus b) excitability c) elasticity d) extension 5. Which of the following is striated and voluntary? a) skeletal muscle b) cardiac muscle c) smooth muscle 6. The area of near-contact between a motor axon terminal and a muscle cell sarcolemma is called the: a) neuromuscular junction b) synapse c) myofilament d) T-tubule 7. The connective tissue layer surrounding bundles of muscle fibers (these bundles are called fascicles) is the: a) perimysium b) endomysium c) ectomysium d) myomysium 8. A cord of connective tissue that attaches a skeletal muscle to the periosteum of a bone is a: a) ligament b) aponeurosis c) perichondrium d) tendon 9. Which muscle is not associated with a movement of the eyeball? a) superior rectus b) lateral rectus c) superior oblique d) genioglossus 10. The term abductor means that a muscle: a) increases the angle at a joint b) produces a downward movement c) moves a part away from the midline of the body or a body part d) elevates a body part
