Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 2.1CT
The word fiber is used to describe a structure in three of the four primary (main) tissue types. In connective tissues, a fiber is a protein strand that is collagen, reticular, or elastic. The meaning of the word fiber is different in muscle tissue and in nervous tissue. Explain a fiber in each of these two tissue types.

One way to distinguish between epithelium and connective tissue under the microscope is that connective tissue is more densely cellular than epithelium.
True or False
From the following list, choose the TWO tissue types that are characterized by consistently-spaced striations?
cardiac muscle
skeletal muscle
simple squamous epitheliu
spongy bone
dense irregular connective tissue
nervous tissue
