Which of the following tissues has a less extensive capillary network due to being less metabolically active?

  • Kidney
  • Cardiac muscle
  • Dense connective tissue (correct)
  • Liver

What is the relationship between the density of the capillary network and the metabolic activity of the tissue?

  • The higher the density of the capillary network, the higher the metabolic activity of the tissue (correct)
  • The higher the density of the capillary network, the lower the metabolic activity of the tissue
  • The density of the capillary network has no relationship with the metabolic activity of the tissue
