Question 6

A good example of areolar connective tissue (CT) can be found in the mucosal (luminal) lining of the ____

digestive tract

Question 7

The mucosa consists of three tissue layers:

Answer 7

epithelium
lamina propria
muscularis mucosae.

Question 8

The lamina propria is composed of ____

Answer 8

areolar connective tissue.

Question 9

areolar connective tissue is made of mostly ___

Answer 9

scattered cells and extracellular matrix or ECM.

ECM is a loose network of fine fibers and ground substance (composed mainly of glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans) located between the scattered cells and the fibers

Question 10

between the mucosa layer and the thick outer layer of smooth muscle, is a layer called the ___

Answer 10

submucosa

Question 11

the layer of thick smooth muscle outside the DICT of the submucosa is the ___

Answer 11

muscularis externa

Question 12

The submucosa consists of ____

Answer 12

dense irregular connective tissue

Question 13

in dense irregular connective tissue:
there is ___ thick collagen fibers than cells.

Collagen fibers are arranged in seemingly ____ (hence the name “irregular”).

Answer 13

more

random orientations

Question 14

The submucosa is surrounded on both sides by ____

Answer 14

smooth muscle

Question 15

closer to the epithelium, the submucosa is bounded by a thin layer of smooth muscle called the ____

On the opposite side, the submucosa is bounded by a thick layer of smooth muscle known as the ____

Answer 15

muscularis mucosae

muscularis externa

Question 16

Reticular layer of the dermis, is an excellent example of ____

Answer 16

dense irregular CT

Question 17

deeper layer of dermis

Answer 17

reticular layer

Question 18

layers of dermis

Answer 18

reticular layer -dense irregular CT
papillary layer - areolar CT

Question 19

the papillary layer of the dermis is formed from ___

Answer 19

areolar CT

It has finer fibers, a looser texture and generally more scattered cells than the reticular layer

Question 20

the areolar CT has ___ fibers, a looser texture and generally___scattered cells than the reticular layer

Answer 20

finer
more

Question 21

the capsule of boar epididymis is an example of what type of connective tissue

Answer 21

particularly compact dense irregular connective tissue

The fibers are woven together to form a tightly knit outer covering.

Question 22

in dense regular connective tissue like ___, the fibers form in ____

Answer 22

tendons

preferred orientation (hence the name “regular”).

The parallel arrays of collagenous fibers are so dense that only the very flat nuclei of the fibroblasts can be seen in between.

Question 23

In dense regular connective tissue, The ____ arrays of collagenous fibers are so dense that only the very flat nuclei of the ____ can be seen in between.

Answer 23

parallel
fibroblast
