Types of Connective Tissue: Areolar Connective Tissue

Match the following types of loose connective tissue with their descriptions:

Areolar connective tissue = Loose general packing tissue with elastic and non-elastic fibers, and contains macrophages and antibody-producing cells Mucoid connective tissue = Contains jelly-like ground substance rich in hyaluronic acid, scattered fibroblasts, delicate collagen fibers, and rounded cells Adipose connective tissue = Fatty tissue with cells able to store fat, found beneath the skin, around the heart and kidneys, and acts as an insulation pad and energy storage tissue Reticular connective tissue = Network tissue found within structures such as the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes

Match the following locations with the corresponding presence of loose connective tissue:

Around the heart and kidneys = Adipose connective tissue Subcutaneous area (beneath the skin) = Areolar connective tissue Umbilical cord = Mucoid connective tissue Liver, spleen, and lymph nodes = Reticular connective tissue

Match the following functions with the corresponding types of loose connective tissue:

Supporting organs = Areolar connective tissue Energy storage and insulation pad = Adipose connective tissue Acting as a network within certain structures = Reticular connective tissue Found in the vitreous of the eyeball = Mucoid connective tissue

Match the following characteristics with their respective types of loose connective tissue:

Contains cells that produce antibodies and anti-coagulants = Areolar connective tissue Rich in hyaluronic acid and delicate collagen fibers = Mucoid connective tissue Network structure within specific organs = Reticular connective tissue Able to store fat and act as an energy storage tissue = Adipose connective tissue Signup and view all the answers

Match the following descriptions with the corresponding functions of loose connective tissue:

Acts as a loose general packing tissue with strength and flexibility = Areolar connective tissue Acts as a network within structures such as liver, spleen, and lymph nodes = Reticular connective tissue Acts as an insulation pad and energy storage tissue supporting and protecting body parts = Adipose connective tissue Contains a jelly-like ground substance rich in hyaluronic acid and scattered fibroblasts = Mucoid connective tissue Signup and view all the answers

Match the type of connective tissue with its description:

Dense connective tissue = Non-elastic, making up tendons and ligaments Elastic fibrous connective tissue = Yellow in appearance, found in organs capable of changing shape Irregular connective tissue = Found in keratinized skin and dermis Mesenchymal connective tissue = Contains mesenchymal cells and is found in the embryo Signup and view all the answers

Match the type of cartilage tissue with its characteristics:

Hyaline cartilage = Strong and flexible, found in rib cage, nose, trachea, bronchi Fibrocartilage = Contains dispersed collagen fibers and large amounts of proteoglycans Elastic cartilage = Clear appearance under the microscope, smooth surface Signup and view all the answers

Match the cell type with its location within the cartilage:

Chondrocytes = Formed from chondroblast in the growing cartilage matrix Chondroblast = Produces cells that will form chondrocytes Signup and view all the answers

Match the function with the specialized connective tissue - The Cartilage:

Perichondrium = Encapsulates the cartilage and is non-vascular Hyaline cartilage = Forms template of embryonic skeleton before bone formation Fibrocartilage = Found in movable joints and covers ends of bones Elastic cartilage = Found in flexible parts of the rib cage, nose, trachea Signup and view all the answers

Match the description with the type of connective tissue - Mesenchymal connective tissue:

Contains mesenchymal cells and has no fibers = Found in keratinized skin and resembles areolar connective tissue Contains phagocytic cells and has defensive function = Found in the embryo and transforms into other types of connective tissue cells Signup and view all the answers
