- 9Identify the tissueDense regular connective tissue
- 10Identify the tissueElastic Cartilage connective tissue
- 11Identify the tissueLoose/ areolar connective tissue
- 12Identify the tissueBlood connective tissue
- 13This is the most abundant type of connective tissue.Loose/ areolar connective tissue
- 14It is comprised of dense bundles of collagen that run parallel to each other.Dense regular connective tissue
- 15It connects your muscles to the bones.Tendons
- 16This type of connective tissue is usually found in areas where pulling forces are exerted in different directions.Dense irregular connective tissue
- 17This type of tissue forms the hypodermis or subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin (as thermal insulator).Adipose connective tissue
- 18This is the liquid portion in unclotted blood.Plasma

- 22The type of muscle tissue that moves the body and controls body openings.Skeletal muscle tissue
- 23Differentiate the three muscle tissues according to their characteristics (movement, striations, and nuclei)Skeletal muscle - striated, voluntary, multinucleated
Smooth muscle - non-striated, involuntary, mononucleated
Cardiac muscle - striated, involuntary, mononucleated - 24This type of tissue is responsible for the control of the body and the communication among its parts.Nervous tissues
- 25This is the part of the nervous tissue that receives impulses from other neurons in order for the cell to become active.Dendrites
- 26The term that pertains to abnormal tissue growths.Neoplasms (tumors)
- 27A change of tissue from one type to another.Metaplasia
- 28This means premature death of tissue.Necrosis
- 29The term pertaining to programmed cell death.Apoptosis
- 30The primary function/s of epithelial tissues.protection, secretion, filtration, absorption
- 31What are the specialized junctions between cells that allow for fast transmission of electrical impulses in the cardiac muscle tissue?Intercalated disks
