Connective Tissues Review

Connective Tissue Matching: Match each tissue description below with its correct matching tissue name. Forms a framework of the outer ear Elastic cartilage Functions as a heat insulator beneath the skin Adipose Contains large amounts of fluid and transports nutrients, wastes, and gases Vascular (Blood) Cell in a solid matrix arranged around central canals Bone Binds the skin to underlying organs Areolar connective The main tissues of tendons and ligaments Dense connective Form the ends of many long bones Hyaline cartilage Forms the pads between vertebrae that are shock absorbers Fibrocartilage Which picture below best represents areolar connective tissue? Which picture below best represents adipose tissue? d Which picture below best represents dense connective tissue?

Fibrocartilage Hyaline cartilage Elastic cartilage Bone What type of connective tissue offers protection and allows for muscle attachment? Adipose Vascular (blood) Areolar Connective Bone What type of connective tissue transports materials around the body, defend against foreign invaders, and helps with both clotting and temperature regulation? Bone Adipose Vascular (blood) Areolar Which of the following connective tissues consists of cells in a fluid matrix? Areolar Connective Dense connective Bone Vascular (blood) Which of these is NOT a connective tissue type? Bone Blood Cartilage Muscle True or False: Tendons connect muscle to bone, while ligaments connect bone to bone. True False True or False: Connective tissues (in general) have a poor blood supply, so they don't divide readily. True False True or False: Cartilage cells sit in a cavity called a lacunae. True False True or False: Connective tissues are the most abundant tissue type in the body. True False
