Question

a major characteristic of fibrocartilage is its unique amount of flexibility and elasticity. true false question 25 depending on the functional state of the bladder, transitional epithelium may resemble stratified squamous epithelium but with rounded surface cells that resemble cuboidal epithelium. true false question 26 connective tissues that possess a large quantity of reticular fibers often provide the framework for organs such as the spleen and lymph nodes. true false question 27 merocrine glands produce their secretions by accumulating their secretions internally and then rupturing the cell

Explanation:

Question (About fibrocartilage characteristic)

Fibrocartilage is known for its toughness and ability to resist compression and tension, while elastic cartilage is the one with unique flexibility and elasticity. So the statement about fibrocartilage having unique flexibility and elasticity is false.

Transitional epithelium changes shape (from cuboidal/columnar when relaxed to squamous - like when stretched) based on the bladder's state. When the bladder is stretched, the surface cells can look like stratified squamous (flat) but still have rounded aspects (resembling cuboidal in a way). So the statement is true.

Reticular connective tissue, rich in reticular fibers, forms the stroma (framework) of organs like the spleen and lymph nodes, supporting the cells within. So the statement is true.

Answer:

B. False
