Question

1. Match the question item (specific type of connective tissue) to the correct answer item.

   Loose (areolar) CT Adipose CT Dense regular CT Dense irregular CT Hyaline cartilage CT Elastic cartilage CT Fibrocartilage CT Spongy bone (CT) Compact Bone (CT) Blood Lymph

   A. Location: lymphatic tissue Function: white blood cells congregate here (immunity) Matrix: lymph B. Location: shafts of long bones (femur) Function: protection Matrix: collagen and calcium salts C. Location: ends of long bones (femur) Function: protection Matrix: collagen and calcium salts D. Location: outer ear Function: elasticity/flexibility Matrix: mainly elastic fibers E. Location: nose, fetal skeleton, ends of long bones Function: movement Matrix: thin collagen fibers F. Location: disks of vertebrae, knee joint Function: movement Matrix: strong collagen fibers G. Location: around organs Function: insulation, energy storage Matrix: loose elastic and collagen fibers H. Location: under skin Function: connect/serve as an anchor Matrix: collagen and elastic fibers I. Location: dermis of the skin Function: connect epithelial tissue to bone Matrix: densely packed collagen fibers J. Location: tendons and ligaments Function: connects muscle to bone (tendon), bone to bone (ligament) Matrix: densely packed collagen fibers K. Location: blood vessels and heart Function: transport gases, immunity, blood clotting proteins Matrix: plasma
