Question

question 1 (10 points)
match the descriptions below to the most descriptive correct tissue type. each type of tissue may be used more than once.

column a

1. ____ cushion, insulation, energy storage
2. ____ contractile, involved in movement
3. ____ comprise linings and coverings, for protection
4. ____ bind organs together, contains few scattered cells and large amounts of intercellular matrix
5. ____ branched contractile cells found in the heart
6. ____ few scattered cells within a liquid matrix
7. ____ characterized by the ability to conduct electrochemical impulses
8. ____ single layer of tissue for absorption and diffusion of materials
9. ____ spindle - shaped, non - striated cells involved in involuntary actions
10. ____ layers of cells for protection, like the skin

column b
a. connective
b. smooth muscle
c. blood
d. nervous
e. muscle
f. cardiac muscle
g. adipose
h. stratified epithelium
i. simple epithelium
j. epithelium

Explanation:

1.

Adipose tissue (a type of connective tissue) functions in cushioning, insulation, and energy storage. So the match for "cushion, insulation, energy storage" is g (adipose) and also a (connective) as adipose is connective, but the most descriptive for this function is g, but since the options have a as connective and g as adipose, for the description, adipose (g) is specific, but also connective (a) is the tissue type. Wait, the question is to match to the most descriptive correct tissue type. Let's re - check:

1. "cushion, insulation, energy storage" is the function of adipose tissue (g), and adipose is a type of connective tissue (a). But the most descriptive for this function is g (adipose). But let's go step by step for each:

1. Description: cushion, insulation, energy storage. Adipose tissue (g) does this, and adipose is connective (a). But the option g is adipose, which is a connective tissue. So the match is g (adipose) and a (connective)? Wait, no, the Column B options: a is connective, g is adipose. Adipose is a type of connective tissue. So the function "cushion, insulation, energy storage" is done by adipose (g), which is a connective tissue (a). But the question says "most descriptive correct tissue type". So for this description, the most descriptive is g (adipose), but also a (connective) is correct. Wait, maybe the intended answer is g (adipose) for this, but let's check each:

1. "contractile, involved in movement" - muscle tissue (e) is contractile and involved in movement. So match e (muscle).

1. "comprise linings and coverings, for protection" - epithelium (j) is the tissue that forms linings and coverings for protection.

1. "bind organs together, contains few scattered cells and large amounts of intercellular matrix" - connective tissue (a) has this property, as connective tissue binds organs and has a lot of intercellular matrix with few cells.

1. "branched contractile cells found in the heart" - cardiac muscle (f) is branched and found in the heart.

1. "few scattered cells within a liquid matrix" - blood (c) has cells (like red and white blood cells) scattered in a liquid matrix (plasma).

1. "characterized by the ability to conduct electrochemical impulses" - nervous tissue (d) conducts electrochemical impulses.

1. "single layer of tissue for absorption and diffusion of materials" - simple epithelium (i) is a single - layered epithelium for absorption and diffusion.

1. "spindle - shaped, non - striated cells involved in involuntary actions" - smooth muscle (b) is spindle - shaped, non - striated, and involuntary.

1. "layers of cells for protection, like the skin" - stratified epithelium (h) has multiple layers and is for protection (like skin).

Answer:

1. g (adipose)
2. e (muscle)
3. j (epithelium)
4. a (connective)
5. f (cardiac muscle)
6. c (blood)
7. d (nervous)
8. i (simple epithelium)
9. b (smooth muscle)
10. h (stratified epithelium)
