2. how is cartilage different then bone?
3. what are the characteristics of bone?
4. how are the three types of cartilage different from each other and where in the body can they be found?
5. what is the function of microvilli and cilia and where would they be found in the body?
6. what attaches skin to muscle?
7. how is epithelium named?
8. what fibers can be found in connective tissue and what is their function?
9. what are components of connective tissue?
10. what does voluntary and involuntary mean in relation to body tissue?
11. what is edema and what type of tissue does it effect?

Explanation:

1. Loose, dense, cartilage, bone.
2. Cartilage is more flexible, lacks blood - vessels.
3. Hard, rigid, mineral - rich.
4. Hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage; locations vary.
5. Microvilli for absorption, cilia for movement; in intestines, respiratory tract.
6. Connective tissue (fascia).
7. By cell shape and layer number.
8. Collagen for strength, elastic for flexibility.
9. Cells, fibers, ground substance.
10. Voluntary is under conscious control, involuntary isn't.
11. Swelling; affects connective tissue.

Answer:

1. Loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, cartilage, bone.
2. Cartilage is more flexible and avascular compared to bone.
3. Hard, rigid, and rich in minerals.
4. Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage differ in fiber composition; found in joints, ears, etc.
5. Microvilli aid in absorption (intestines), cilia in movement (respiratory tract).
6. Connective tissue (fascia).
7. Based on cell shape and number of layers.
8. Collagen fibers for strength, elastic fibers for flexibility.
9. Cells, extracellular fibers, and ground substance.
10. Voluntary is under conscious control, involuntary isn't.
11. Swelling; affects connective tissue.
