Key Choices Adipose connective tissue Areolar connective tissue Dense fibrous connective tissue Osseous tissue Reticular connective tissue Hyaline cartilage __________________ Provides great strength through parallel bundles of collagenic fibers; found in tendons _____________ Acts as a storage depot for fat _________ Composes the dermis of the skin ______________ Forms the bony skeleton ____________ Composes the basement membrane and packages organs, includes a gel-like matrix with all categories of fibers and many cell types ____________ Forms the embryonic skeleton and the surfaces of bones at the joints, reinforces the trachea ____________ Provides insulation for the body ____________ Structurally amorphous matrix, heavily invaded with fibers; appears glassy and smooth ______________ Contains cells arranged concentrically around a nutrient canal; matrix is hard due to calcium salts ____________ Forms the stroma or internal "skeleton" of lymph nodes, the spleen, and other lymphoid organs

Explanation / Answer

1) Provides great strength through parallel bundles of collagenic fibres; found in tendons - (C) dense fibrous connective tissue

5) Composes the basement membrane and packages organs; includes a gel like matrix with all categories of fibres and many cell type - (B) Areolar connective tissue

6) Forms the embryonic skeleton and surface of bones at the joints; reinforces the trachea - (F) hyaline cartilage

7) Provides insulation for the body - (A) adipose connective tissue

8) Structurally amarphous matrix, heavily invaded with fibres; appears glossy and smooth - (F) hyaline cartilage

9) Contains cells arranged concentrically around a nutrient canal; matrix is hard due to calcium salts - (D) osseous tissue

10) Forms the stroma or internal skeleton of lymph nodes, the spleen and other lymphoid organs - (E) reticular connective tissue
