Choose the two broad categories of bone from the list below. (There are multiple answers for this question.)
- A.
  
  Hyaline cartilage
- B.
  
  Fibrocartilage
- C.
  
  Compact
- D.
  
  Cancellous
- E.
  
  Adipose
Correct Answer(s)
C. Compact
D. Cancellous

Explanation
The two broad categories of bone are compact and cancellous. Compact bone, also known as cortical bone, is dense and forms the outer layer of bones. It provides strength and support to the skeleton. Cancellous bone, also known as spongy or trabecular bone, is less dense and has a porous structure. It is found at the ends of long bones and in the interior of vertebrae and other flat bones. Cancellous bone contains bone marrow and helps with shock absorption and bone remodeling.

  Dense Fibrous (regular)
- C.
  
  Dense Fibrous (irregular)
- D.
  
  Fibrous adipose (fat)
- E.
  
  Fibrous Loose (areolar)
Correct Answer
B. Dense Fibrous (regular)

Explanation
Dense fibrous (regular) connective tissue is the correct answer because it is found in tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses. Tendons connect muscle to bone, ligaments connect bone to bone, and aponeuroses are sheet-like structures that attach muscles to other structures. Dense fibrous (regular) connective tissue is characterized by densely packed collagen fibers that are arranged in parallel, providing strength and resistance to tension in these structures.

Rate this question:
7.

What type of connective tissue is found in the inner framework of the spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes? (Please enter your 2 answers in all lower case letters.)

Correct Answer
fibrous reticular

Explanation
Fibrous reticular connective tissue is found in the inner framework of the spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. This type of connective tissue provides structural support and forms a network of fibers that help support the cells and organs within these tissues. The reticular fibers in this type of connective tissue are thin and delicate, forming a mesh-like network that supports the cells and allows for the movement of substances such as blood cells and lymphocytes.

Adipose tissue is often simply called fat tissue, because its primary function is the storage of glucose.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Adipose tissue is not primarily responsible for the storage of glucose. Its main function is to store energy in the form of fat. Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles in the form of glycogen, not in adipose tissue. Therefore, the statement is false.

_____ tissue was first identified by the Swiss naturalist Conrad Gessner in 1551.
- A.
  
  Brown
- B.
  
  Adipose
- C.
  
  Blood
- D.
  
  Bone
Correct Answer
B. Adipose

Explanation
Adipose tissue was first identified by the Swiss naturalist Conrad Gessner in 1551. Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that stores energy in the form of fat. It is found throughout the body and serves as a protective cushion, insulation, and a source of fuel. Conrad Gessner's discovery of adipose tissue marked an important milestone in the understanding of the body's composition and function.

_____ _____ _____ primary function is to generate body heat in animals or newborns that do not shiver.
- A.
  
  Adipose Fiber Tissue
- B.
  
  Brown Adipose Tissue
- C.
  
  White Adipose Tissue
- D.
  
  Yellow Adipose Tissue
Correct Answer
B. Brown Adipose Tissue

Explanation
Brown Adipose Tissue's primary function is to generate body heat in animals or newborns that do not shiver. This is because brown adipose tissue contains a high concentration of mitochondria, which are responsible for generating heat through a process called thermogenesis. Unlike white adipose tissue, which stores energy in the form of fat, brown adipose tissue is specialized for heat production. This is why it is particularly important in animals or newborns that cannot shiver to regulate their body temperature.

_____ _____ _____ acts as a thermal insulator, helping to maintain body temperature, is used to serve as storage of energy and upon release of insulin from the pancreas.
- A.
  
  Adipose Fiber Tissue
- B.
  
  Brown Adipose Tissue
- C.
  
  White Adipose Tissue
- D.
  
  Yellow Adipose Tissue
Correct Answer
C. White Adipose Tissue

Explanation
White adipose tissue acts as a thermal insulator, helping to maintain body temperature. It also serves as a storage of energy and is involved in the release of insulin from the pancreas.

Hematopoietic fluid may be found in the cavities of cancellous bone.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Hematopoietic fluid refers to the fluid that is involved in the production of blood cells. Cancellous bone, also known as spongy or trabecular bone, is a type of bone tissue that contains open spaces filled with bone marrow. Since bone marrow is responsible for the production of blood cells, it is likely that hematopoietic fluid can be found in the cavities of cancellous bone. Therefore, the statement is true.

What type of connective tissue is found in the nasal septum, larynx, and rings in trachea?
- A.
  
  Dense (fibrous irregular)
- B.
  
  Cartilage (hyaline)
- C.
  
  Fuid (blood)
- D.
  
  Fibrous (adipose)
Correct Answer
B. Cartilage (hyaline)

Explanation
Cartilage (hyaline) is the correct answer because it is a type of connective tissue that is found in the nasal septum, larynx, and rings in the trachea. Hyaline cartilage is characterized by its smooth and glassy appearance and provides support and flexibility to these structures. It is also found in other parts of the body such as the joints and the rib cage. Dense (fibrous irregular), fuid (blood), and fibrous (adipose) are not types of connective tissue that are typically found in these specific locations.

- D.
  
  Cartilage
- E.
  
  Dense Fibrous
- F.
  
  Fibrous (areolar)
Correct Answer
F. Fibrous (areolar)

Explanation
The connective tissue observed in the image is fibrous (areolar) tissue. This type of tissue is characterized by loose arrangement of collagen and elastic fibers, as well as a gel-like ground substance. It is found in various parts of the body, including the skin, mucous membranes, and around blood vessels and organs. Fibrous (areolar) tissue provides support and flexibility, as well as a pathway for the diffusion of nutrients and waste products.

What type of cartilage is found in the disks between vertebrae and symphysis pubis? (Please enter your single-word answer in all lower case letters.)

Correct Answer
fibrocartilage

Explanation
Fibrocartilage is the correct answer because it is the type of cartilage found in the disks between vertebrae and symphysis pubis. Fibrocartilage is a tough and durable type of cartilage that contains both collagen fibers and cartilage cells. It is found in areas that require both support and flexibility, such as the intervertebral disks and the pubic symphysis.
