Answer 15

Allows tissue to recoil after stretching

Walls of large arteries within certain ligaments with vertebral column

Question 16

What is the characteristic of Cartilage Tissue

Answer 16

What in colour ( no blood ) and stands upto tension and compression

Question 17

What is the function and location of Cartilage Tissue

Answer 17

Tough but flexible and receives nutrients by diffusion from blood vessels

Hyaline, Elastic and Fibrocartilage

Question 18

What is the characteristic of Hyaline Cartilage

Answer 18

Most abundant Cartilage in the body and contains numerous chondrocytes

Question 19

What is the function and location of Hyaline Cartilage

Answer 19

Supports and reinforces provides smooth surface for movement

Forms most of embryonic skeleton, covers ends of long bones in joint cavities

Question 20

What is the characteristic of Elastic Cartilage

Answer 20

Similar to hayline cartilage with more ELASTIC fibres

Question 21

What is the function and location of Elastic Cartilage

Answer 21

Maintains shape of structure and allows flexibility

External Ear and Epiglottis

Question 22

What is the characteristic of Fibrocartilage

Answer 22

Consist of Chondrocytes scattered among thick bundles of collagen fibres

Question 23

What is the function and location of Fibrocartilage

Answer 23

Absorb compressive shock, support and fusion

Intervertebral Disc

Answer 26

Most Atypical connective tissue and consist of blood cells

Question 27

What is the function of Connective tissue blood

Answer 27

Transport vehicle

Question 28

Answer 28

Responsible for most types of body movement

Question 29

What is the function and location of Muscle Tissue

Answer 29

Movement and contraction in all cell types Skeletal Muscle Smooth Muscle Cardiac Muscle

Question 30

What is the characteristic function and location of Skeletal Muscles

Answer 30

Long, multinucleate cells Voluntary Movement Skeletal muscles attached to bones of occasionally skin

Question 31

What is the characteristic function and location of Cardiac muscles

Answer 31

Uninucleate cells that connect at specialised junctions Involuntary control, blood into the circulation

Question 32

What is the characteristic function and location of smooth muscles

Answer 32

Cells are spindle shape and arranged closely to form sheets Involuntary control ( internal passageways Mostly in walls of hollow organs

Question 33
