1. Which feature best characterizes connective tissue compared with epithelial tissue?
2. What are the two principal components of the connective-tissue extracellular matrix?
3. Which pairing correctly distinguishes resident from mobile connective-tissue cells?
What characterizes connective tissues?
They have scattered non-junctional cells in a water-rich extracellular matrix.
What forms the macromolecular framework of the extracellular matrix?
Connective fibers and a hydrated ground substance form it.
Which fibers are found in the connective-tissue matrix?
Collagen, reticular, and elastic fibers are found.
What other components are present in the connective-tissue matrix besides fibers?
Blood capillaries, nerves, and lymphatic vessels are present.
Which cells are considered resident in connective tissue?
Fibroblasts and sometimes adipocytes are resident cells.
Which mobile cells of hematopoietic origin are found in connective tissue?
Macrophages, mast cells, and leukocytes are mobile cells.
