Concept explainers
To discuss:
The appearance, functions, and locations of adipose tissues and differences between the white fat and brown fat.
Introduction:
Connective tissues are abundant and a widely distributed tissue type among the other tissue classes. It plays an important role in connection, and for separation of tissues and organs. It is a primary tissue because it connects the bones and cartilage for the shape and movement of organisms. It fills the spaces between the tissue and organ to provide structural and

- In what ways are adipose tissue and bone similar? How are they different?arrow_forwardA major tenet of the cell theory is that all bodily structure and function result from the function of cells. Yet the structural properties of bone are due more to its extracellular material than to its cells. Is this an exception to the cell theory? Why or why not?arrow_forwardWhat feature distinguishes adipose tissue from other connective tissues?arrow_forward
- 3) Collagen is a very important structural protein in animals. Discuss the various parts of the body in which collagen is an important structural molecule and what its function is at each body location.arrow_forwardFIBROCARTILAGE CONNECTIVE TISSUE What is the main cell type in this tissue? [ Select ] [A."fibroblast", B."osteocyte", C."adipocyte", D."chondrocyte"] How are the cells arranged? [ Select ] [A."randomly, looks like bubbles", B."in perpendicular arrangement to neighboring collagen fibers", C."sits within clearly visible thick bundles of collagen fibers within the extracellular matrix"] What is the name of the structure that houses the main cell type? [ Select ] ["A.cytohome", B."cell house", C."osteon", D."lacuane"] True or false: this cartilage type has a perichondrium. ["false", "true"] What is the location of this cartilage?

The main characteristic of muscle tissue is its ability to contract, or shortens, making movement possible. II. Skeletal muscle fibers appear banded, with many cells at the periphery and under involuntary control. II. Cardiac muscle cells are cylindrical, not striated, and have a centrally located nucleus and under involuntary IV.
