What type of connective tissue is shown in the image specifically in the abdominal region?
-
Blood
-
Bone
-
Adipose
-
Fibrocartilage
-
Nervous (brain)
Correct Answer
A. AdiposeExplanation
The correct answer is Adipose. Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that is found in the abdominal region. It is responsible for storing fat and providing insulation and cushioning to the organs in this area. Adipose tissue is composed of adipocytes, which are specialized cells that store fat in the form of triglycerides. This tissue is important for energy storage and regulation of body temperature.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Elastic CartilageExplanation
The correct answer is Elastic Cartilage. Elastic cartilage is a type of connective tissue that is characterized by its flexibility and elasticity. It contains a large amount of elastic fibers, which give it its unique properties. Elastic cartilage is found in certain parts of the body that require both support and flexibility, such as the external ear and the epiglottis. It is able to maintain its shape while also being able to bend and stretch. This makes it an ideal tissue for structures that need to be able to move and recoil, such as the ear.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. AreolarExplanation
Areolar tissue is a type of loose, ordinary connective tissue. It is found in various parts of the body and fills the spaces between organs and tissues. It is characterized by its loose arrangement of fibers and abundant ground substance. Areolar tissue provides support and flexibility to organs and helps in holding them in place. It also plays a role in immune response and inflammation. Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that stores fat, smooth and cardiac tissues are types of muscle tissue, and blood is a specialized connective tissue.Rate this question:

This image is classified as cardiac striated involuntary muscle tissue.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The image is classified as cardiac striated involuntary muscle tissue because it shows the characteristic striations of muscle fibers and is located in the heart, which is an involuntary muscle. The presence of striations indicates that the muscle tissue is composed of sarcomeres, which are the basic contractile units of striated muscles. Additionally, the fact that it is located in the heart confirms its classification as cardiac muscle tissue.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Fibrocartilage (CT scan)Explanation
The correct answer is Fibrocartilage (CT scan) because the image shows a tissue that has a dense arrangement of collagen fibers and chondrocytes embedded within the matrix. This is characteristic of fibrocartilage, which is found in areas that require both strength and flexibility, such as intervertebral discs and the pubic symphysis. The mention of "CT scan" in the answer indicates that the image was obtained using this imaging technique.Rate this question:

Dense fibrous regular connective tissue includes (1) aponeuroses, (2) dermis, (3) Ligaments, and (4) rings in trachea.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The given statement is false because dense fibrous regular connective tissue does not include rings in the trachea. Dense fibrous regular connective tissue refers to a type of connective tissue that is composed of densely packed collagen fibers arranged in parallel. It is found in structures like tendons and ligaments, which connect muscles to bones and bones to other bones, respectively. Aponeuroses and dermis are also examples of dense fibrous regular connective tissue, but rings in the trachea are not.Rate this question:

-
Skeletal Muscle
Correct Answer
A. FibrocartilageExplanation
The image of the intervertebral disc shows fibrocartilage. Fibrocartilage is a type of connective tissue that is found in areas that require both support and flexibility, such as the intervertebral discs. It is characterized by its dense collagen fibers and ability to withstand pressure and tension. Fibrocartilage is commonly found in the body's joints and provides cushioning and shock absorption.Rate this question:

-
Fibrocartilage + Dense Fibrous Regular
-
Elastic + Dense Fibrous Regular
-
Glandular
Correct Answer
A. Fibrocartilage + Dense Fibrous RegularExplanation
The correct answer is Fibrocartilage + Dense Fibrous Regular. This is because the image shows a connective tissue that contains both fibrocartilage and dense fibrous regular tissue. Fibrocartilage is a type of connective tissue that is found in areas that require both support and flexibility, such as the intervertebral discs. Dense fibrous regular tissue, on the other hand, is a type of connective tissue that provides strength and support to structures like tendons and ligaments. Therefore, the presence of both fibrocartilage and dense fibrous regular tissue in the image suggests that the connective tissue shown is a combination of these two types.Rate this question:

Blood serves the human body in two functions, (1) transportation and (2) conduction.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Blood serves the human body in multiple functions, including transportation, conduction, and regulation. In addition to transporting oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to different parts of the body, blood also carries waste products away from cells and helps regulate body temperature. It also plays a crucial role in the immune system, clotting, and maintaining pH balance. Therefore, the statement that blood serves the human body in only two functions is incorrect.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Dense Fibrous RegularExplanation
The correct answer is Dense Fibrous Regular. This type of connective tissue is characterized by densely packed collagen fibers that are arranged in parallel. It provides strength and support to structures such as tendons and ligaments. In the image, the tissue appears to have a regular pattern of collagen fibers, indicating that it is Dense Fibrous Regular connective tissue.Rate this question:
