connective tissue

What type of connective tissue is commonly known as fat?

• Adipose tissue

• Cartilage

• Bone tissue

• Fibrous tissue

What is the primary component of blood that transports oxygen?

• White blood cells

• Platelets

• Red blood cells

• Plasma

What type of connective tissue stores energy and insulates the body?

• Adipose tissue

• Cartilage

• Bone tissue

• Blood

What is the difference between cartilage and bone?

• Cartilage is a rigid connective tissue that provides structure and support, while bone is a flexible connective tissue that provides support and cushioning.

• Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that provides support and cushioning, while bone is a rigid connective tissue that provides structure and support.

• Cartilage and bone are both flexible connective tissues that provide support and cushioning.

• Cartilage is a type of bone that is less dense and provides more flexibility.

What is the role of adipocytes in adipose tissue?

• Adipocytes are specialized cells that store fat in adipose tissue.

• Adipocytes are responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism.

• Adipocytes help in the transport of nutrients to other cells.

• Adipocytes are involved in the immune response of the body.

What are the two main types of connective tissue?

• Loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue.

• Cartilage and bone.

• Adipose tissue and blood.

• Fibrous tissue and epithelial tissue.

How does connective tissue differ from epithelial tissue?

• Connective tissue covers body surfaces and lines cavities, while epithelial tissue supports, binds, and protects other tissues.

• Connective tissue is found only in the brain, while epithelial tissue is found throughout the body.

• Connective tissue supports, binds, and protects other tissues, while epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines cavities.

• Connective tissue is responsible for transporting nutrients, while epithelial tissue is responsible for producing hormones.

What type of connective tissue is found in tendons and ligaments?

• Loose connective tissue

• Adipose tissue

• Dense connective tissue

• Cartilage

What type of connective tissue forms the framework of organs?

• Adipose connective tissue

• Dense connective tissue

• Reticular connective tissue

• Elastic connective tissue

What is the significance of extracellular matrix in connective tissue?

• It provides energy for cellular processes.

• It serves as a barrier to protect against pathogens.

• The extracellular matrix provides structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells in connective tissue.

• It is primarily responsible for the contraction of muscle fibers.
