Accepted Answer

The answer of Why is epithelial tissue more likely to...

Question 2

Match the structure to the correct description.
-bone

Accepted Answer

Bone is hardened by the deposition of calcium and phosphate minerals.

Answer: B
 Connective tissue contains collagen and elastin fibers, and underlies epithelial tissue and surrounds internal organs.

Answer: D
 Adipose tissue stores fatty reserves and has little extracellular matrix.

Question 3

Match the structure to the correct description.
-dense irregular connective tissue

Accepted Answer

Dense irregular connective tissue is characterized by a meshwork of collagen fibers that provide strength and support to areas subjected to stress from multiple directions, such as the deep layers of the skin (dermis) and the capsules surrounding organs like the kidneys.

Question 4

Why are muscle and nervous tissue not replaced by the body if damaged or lost?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Why are muscle and nervous tissue not...

Question 5

Match the structure to the correct description.
-adipose tissue

Accepted Answer

Adipose tissue stores fatty reserves and has little extracellular matrix.

Answer: E
 Adipose tissue forms deep skin layers and a protective capsule around kidneys.

Question 6

Match the structure to the correct description.
-loose connective tissue

Accepted Answer

Loose connective tissue is characterized by its soft matrix containing both collagen and elastin fibers, which makes it flexible and resilient. It is found surrounding internal organs and underneath epithelial tissues, providing support and nourishment.

Question 7

Match the organ system to the correct description
-This system helps maintain pH.

Accepted Answer

The respiratory system helps maintain pH by regulating the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the body. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the respiratory system increases breathing rate to remove excess CO2 and maintain a stable pH.

Question 10

Match the structure to the correct description.
-dense regular connective tissue

Accepted Answer

Dense regular connective tissue makes up tendons.

Answer: B
 Dense irregular connective tissue contains collagen and elastin; surrounds internal organs and underlies epithelial tissue.

Answer: C
 Bone tissue's final form is hardened by calcium and phosphorus.

Answer: D
 Adipose tissue stores fatty reserves; little extracellular matrix.

Answer: E
 Dense fibrous connective tissue forms deep skin layers and a protective capsule around kidneys.

Answer: F
 Cartilage tissue contains no blood vessels.

Question 11

Question 14

What type of gland secretes a substance through a duct? What type of gland releases its product into the interstitial fluid (and bloodstream)?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What type of gland secretes a substance...

Question 15

Match the structure to the correct description.
-cartilage

Accepted Answer

Cartilage is avascular, meaning it contains no blood vessels, which is why it can take a long time to heal when injured.

Question 16

New anatomical traits typically arise by modification of existing structures. This process constrains animal body plans and can produce structures with less than optimal function. Use an example of wings to demonstrate this point.

Accepted Answer
