2. What muscle cell type has intercalated discs?
Ans: cardiac muscle has intercalated discs
3. The intestine is lined with what kind of muscle?
Ans: The intestine is lined with smooth muscle.

Connective Tissue (The ‘Other’ Category!)
What are 8 functions of connective tissues??
Binding of organs, support, physical protection, immune protection, movement, storage of stuff, heat
production and transportation of stuff!
7. What is the extracellular matrix in blood called?
Ans: Plasma is the matrix in blood.
8. Name the three types of fibers in areolar connective tissue.
Ans: Collagenous, reticular, and elastic fibers are found in areolar connective tissue.
9 What type of connective tissue is spring like and found in the middle walls of arteries?
Ans: Elastic connective tissue is found in the middle walls of arteries
10. What is the cell type in adipose tissue?
Ans: Adipocytes are in adipose tissue.
11. Name the outer connective tissue layer that envelops cartilage.
Ans: The periosteum is found around cartilage.
12. What types of fibers are in fibrocartilage?
Ans: Collagenous fibers are in fibrocartilage.
13. Describe the functional difference between fibrocartilage and hyaline cartilage.
Ans: Fibrocartilage is tougher than hyaline cartilage.
14. How do you distinguish generally between epithelium and connective tissue?
Ans: Epithelium is more cellular than connective tissue. The nuclei in many of the simple epithelial tissues
are aligned. In connective tissue there are more non-cellular structures present such as fibers or a
matrix.
