6 .

How does connective tissue differ from the other three major tissue types? (Activity: Connective Tissue)

Connective tissue often consists of relatively few cells embedded in an extracellular matrix.

Connective tissue consists of contractile proteins.

Connective tissue consists of cells capable of transmitting electrical impulses.

There are three types of connective tissue.

Connective tissue is found lining body surfaces.

7 .

Which of these describes loose connective tissue? (Activity: Connective Tissue)

It is a loose weave of fibers that functions as a packing material.

It is composed of many fibers that connect bone to bone and muscle to bone.

It is a rigid material that provides structural support.

It transports nutrients and gases from one part of the body to another.

It plays a role in padding, insulation, and energy storage.

8 .

Cartilage is found _____. (Activity: Connective Tissue)

surrounding organs such as the kidneys

in the heart

at the ends of bones such as the femur

covering the surface of your body

connecting one bone to another

9 .

_____ is the connective tissue specialized for transport. (Activity: Connective Tissue)

Bone

Blood

Adipose tissue

Muscle tissue

Cartilage

10 .

A neuron consists of _____. (Activity: Nervous Tissue)

a cell body only

dendrites only

axons only

dendrites, a cell body, and axons

striations

11 .

Nervous tissue functions _____. (Activity: Nervous Tissue)

as a physical barrier to the invasion of pathogens

to physically move the body

to sense stimuli

to physically support the body

in the absorption of nutrients

12 .

What type of muscle is responsible for contractions of the digestive tract and arteries? (Activity: Muscle Tissue)

smooth muscle

skeletal muscle

striated muscle

voluntary muscle

cardiac muscle

13 .

Cardiac muscle is the only muscle composed of _____ fibers. (Activity: Muscle Tissue)

branched

unstriated

unbranched and cylindrical

spindle shaped

striated

14 .

_____ muscle is attached to bones. (Activity: Muscle Tissue)

Smooth

Involuntary

Cardiac

Branched

Skeletal

15 .

Which of these is an example of negative feedback? (Activity: Negative and Positive Feedback)

As a blood clot begins to form, the process of its formation gets faster and faster.

After you eat, glucagon stimulates an increase in blood sugar levels.

After you eat, insulin stimulates the lowering of blood sugar levels.

The digestive enzyme pepsinogen is converted to pepsin by the action of hydrochloric acid; pepsin itself can then convert pepsinogen into pepsin.

Once labor begins, contractions increase in frequency and intensity.
