level questions: Classification of Connective Tissue

Question	Answer
What does connective tissue consist of?	Specialized cells, extracellular matrix, protein fibers, and ground substance
Connects and protects?	Connective Tissue Proper
More ground substance, fewer fibers, Example fat (adipose tissue)?	Loose Connective Tissue Proper
Less ground substance, more fibers, example Tendons and ligaments?	Dense Connective Tissue Proper
For transport, examples are blood and lymph?	Fluid Connective Tissue
For structural strength examples are cartilage and bone?	Supporting Connective Tissue
What is the most abundant protein in the body?	Collagen Protein
Most common type of fiber in connective tissue?	Collagen Fibers
Thick, long, straight, and unbranched, strong and flexible, but not elastic (stretchy)?	Collagen Fibers
What is found in most connective tissues but especially the skin, tendons, and ligaments?	Collagen Fibers
Form a network of interwoven fibers (stroma) that stabilize cells and structures?	Reticular Fibers
Thin and branching, strong and flexible but not elastic?	Reticular Fibers
Found in organs such as the kidney, liver, and spleen, and in sheaths around the organs?	Reticular Fibers
Found in tissues that need to stretch?	Elastic Fibers
Branched and wavy, made of elastic protein, and returns to original length after stretching?	Elastic Fibers
Found in the elastic ligaments of the vertebrae, and elastic arteries such as the aorta?	Elastic Fibers
