support other tissues
transport materials
store lipids

Question 2

Are they exposed to outside environments

Answer 2

No

Question 3

They why

Answer 3

Fill internal spaces , supports other tissues , transport materials , store lipids

T or F contains more extracellular materials than epithelia

Answer 4

true

Question 5

T or F exposed to the outside environment

Answer 5

false

Question 6

Most connective tissues have extracellular protein fibers ( strands )

Answer 6

Yes

Question 7

The cells and proteins are immersed in a substance produced by the cells themselves

Answer 7

Yes this is called ground substance

Question 8

Answer 8

Connective tissue proper
supporting connective tissue
fluid connective tissue

Question 9

What are the two types of connective tissue proper

Answer 9

various cells scattered
found surrounding nerves, vessels, organs; between skin and underlying muscle
NOTHING TIGHTLY PACKED LOOSE ARRANGED

Answer 24

Areolar

Question 25

Mostly fat cells ( adipocytes ) | very little to no ground substance or protein fibers

Answer 25

Adipose

Question 26
