In the following table, describe the types of cells and the extracellular matrix fibers that are  present in each type of dense connective tissue.  Type of dense connective tissue  Types of cells Extracellular matrix fibers  Dense regular   connective tissue  Dense irregular   connective tissue

Name the components of connective tissue.

In what regions of the human body would you expect to find dense irregular connective tissue, and why would the tissue be located in these regions?

Which of the following characteristics is common of epithelial cells? Has a basal surface that faces the internal or external environment. Is supported by a deeper neural tissue. Possess a large amount of fibers in the extracellular matrix. Often plays a role in secretion. Cells are often separated by ground substance.

In the following table, describe the types of cells and the nature of the extracellular matrix that  compose bone and cartilage.  Type of connective tissue         Cells                 Extracellular matrix Bone tissue  Cartilage tissue

Structure always reflects function. Explain how each of the four types of tissues support this statement. (connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue

True or false connective tissue sheaths are a type of tissue?

Search for an image of a microscope slide (not a diagram) of a tissue. point out the distinguishing characteristics that you use to identify the tissue. (shape of cells, number of layers, shape of groups of cells, etc.) Don't include the function of the tissues or the cells. Focus on shape and number of layers.

Three supportive connective tissues that form the primary organs of the skeletal system: cartilage, compact bone and spongy bone. List the cells that make each of this tissue, which tissue they belong to, and the function of the cell.  Hint: you should list at least 4 different types of cells.

What are different types of cells of connective tissue state their function and structure in tabular form.
