b. areolar tissue
c. blood
d. bone (compact)
e. dense connective tissue (regular)
f. elastic cartilage
g. elastic connective tissue
h. fibrocartilage
i. hyaline cartilage

column b
____ 1. forms framework of outer ear
____ 2. functions as heat insulator beneath skin
____ 3. contains large amounts of fluid and transports
nutrients, wastes, and gases
____ 4. cells in solid matrix arranged around central canal
____ 5. binds skin and fills spaces between organs
____ 6. main tissue of tendons and ligaments
____ 7. provides stored energy supply in fat droplets in cytoplasm
____ 8. forms the ends of many long bones
____ 9. pads between vertebrae that are shock absorbers
____ 10. matrix contains collagen fibers and mineral salts
____ 11. occurs in some ligament attachments between
vertebrae and larger artery walls
____ 12. forms supporting tissue in walls of liver and spleen

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each tissue and its corresponding characteristic:

1. Elastic cartilage (f) forms the framework of the outer ear.
2. Adipose tissue (a) functions as a heat insulator beneath the skin (and stores energy in fat droplets).
3. Blood (c) contains large amounts of fluid (plasma) and transports nutrients, wastes, and gases.
4. Bone (compact) (d) has cells (osteocytes) in a solid matrix arranged around central canals (Haversian canals).
5. Areolar tissue (b) binds skin to underlying structures and fills spaces between organs.
6. Dense connective tissue (regular) (e) is the main tissue of tendons and ligaments (due to parallel collagen fibers).
7. Adipose tissue (a) provides stored energy in fat droplets in the cytoplasm.
8. Hyaline cartilage (i) forms the ends of many long bones (articular cartilage).
9. Fibrocartilage (h) pads between vertebrae (intervertebral discs) as shock absorbers.
10. Bone (compact) (d) has a matrix containing collagen fibers and mineral salts (calcium phosphate, etc.).
11. Elastic connective tissue (g) occurs in some ligament attachments between vertebrae and larger artery walls (due to elastic fibers).
12. Reticular connective tissue (j) forms supporting tissue in the walls of the liver and spleen (reticular fibers support organs).

Final Matches:

1. $\boldsymbol{f}$
2. $\boldsymbol{a}$
3. $\boldsymbol{c}$
4. $\boldsymbol{d}$
5. $\boldsymbol{b}$
6. $\boldsymbol{e}$
7. $\boldsymbol{a}$
8. $\boldsymbol{i}$
9. $\boldsymbol{h}$
10. $\boldsymbol{d}$
11. $\boldsymbol{g}$
12. $\boldsymbol{j}$
