Connective Tissue 1 & 2 + Cartilage - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Connective tissue develops the endoderm. True or False.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Connective tissue develops from the mesoderm.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What cell type produces and maintains the majority of extracellular matrix components of connective tissue?

    • Fibroblast

    • Macrophage

    • Mesenchymal cell

    • Mast cell

    • Plasma Cell

    Correct Answer
    A. Fibroblast
    Explanation
    Fibroblasts are the primary cell type responsible for producing and maintaining the extracellular matrix components of connective tissue. They secrete various proteins and fibers, such as collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, which provide structural support and elasticity to the tissue. Fibroblasts also play a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair by producing new extracellular matrix components. Macrophages, mesenchymal cells, mast cells, and plasma cells have different functions and are not primarily involved in the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix in connective tissue.

  • 4. 

    Every third amino acid in collagen in proline. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Every third amino acid is glycine.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Mast cells secrete antibodies. True or False.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Plasma cells secrete antibodies.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following statements pertains to hyaline cartilage?

    • Highly vascular

    • Surrounded by perichondrium except at articular surfaces

    • Contains matrix composed primarily of glycoproteins

    • Contains type 1 collagen

    • Capable of extensive turnover and repair

    Correct Answer
    A. Surrounded by perichondrium except at articular surfaces
    Explanation
    Hyaline cartilage is surrounded by perichondrium, which is a dense connective tissue, except at the articular surfaces. The perichondrium provides nutrients and oxygen to the cartilage cells and helps in their repair and maintenance. The absence of perichondrium at the articular surfaces allows for smooth movement and reduces friction between bones.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Heparin causes increased vascular permeability and vasodilation.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Histamine causes increased vascular permeability and vasodilation. Heparin is an anticoagulant.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    When cartilage is damaged it is replaced by___________.

    • More cartilage

    • Dense conective tissue

    • Reticular conective tissue

    • Hyaline connective tissue

    Correct Answer
    A. Dense conective tissue
    Explanation
    When cartilage is damaged, it is replaced by dense connective tissue. This is because dense connective tissue has a higher density of collagen fibers, which provide strength and support to the damaged area. This type of tissue is able to withstand more mechanical stress and is better suited for repairing and replacing damaged cartilage.

    • Articular cartilage

    • Elastic cartilage

    • Fibrocartilage

    • Hyaline cartilage

    • Mesenchymal cartilage

    Correct Answer
    A. Elastic cartilage

    • Adipocyte

    • Chondrocyte

    • Epithelial

    • Fibroblast

    • Mesenchymal

    Correct Answer
    A. Fibroblast
  • 11. 
    Which of the following types of cells is shown above? - ProProfs

    Which of the following types of cells is shown above?

    • Mast Cells

    • Plasma Cells

    • Fibroblasts

    • Microphages

    Correct Answer
    A. Plasma Cells
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Plasma Cells. This is because the image shown above represents cells that have a distinct appearance with a large, eccentric nucleus and a perinuclear clearing. These characteristics are typical of plasma cells, which are a type of white blood cell involved in immune responses. Mast cells, fibroblasts, and microphages do not have the same morphological features as plasma cells, making them incorrect options.
