Learning Target #3: Compare the function, location and distinguishing characteristics of

the 4 main types of tissue.

Connective TissueWhere is connective tissue found? A. Makes up glands B. Widely distibuted C. Lines organs D. All the above Answer: BTrue or False: Connective tissue has cells that are

further apart, minimal blood supply, and matrix between the cells.

Answer: False – good blood supply

Connective Tissue

What are the functions of connective tissue?A. Protect, bind, fill spaces, absorptionB. Bind, support, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood

cells, transportC. Secretion, protection, excretion, absorptionD. Fill spaces, produce blood cells, transport, secretion,

protection Answer: B

Connective Tissue Describe the 3 types of matrix that connective tissue may

have.1. Protein matrix B A. Water-based solution

2. Protein/ground C B. Has a dominance of substance matrix protein fibers

3. Fluid matrix A C. some protein fibers, a . great deal of nonfibrous protein

Connective Tissue Match each specific type of connective tissue with a

description.1. Areolar D2. Dense Regular B3. Dense Irregular C4. Adipose F5. Hyaline Cartilage A6. Fibrocartilage G7. Elastic Cartilage E 8. Compact Bone H9. Blood I

A. smooth protection, ends of bonesB. made of strong collagen fibers, found in tendons and ligamentsC. fibroblasts create collagen fibers that make up the dermis of the skinD. binds skin to underlying muscleE. flexible, found in earsF. stores fat, cushion and insulationG. in discs between each vertebraeH. most rigid connective tissueI. only tissue with a fluid matrix
