Chapter 4, Problem 9CYR
Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.
a. Fibroblasts store lipids in a large inclusion in their cytoplasm.
b. Loose connective tissue features protein fibers as its primary component.
c. Adipose tissue functions in insulation, warmth, protection, and shock absorption, and is the major energy reserve in the body.
d. Fibrocartilage provides a smooth surface on which bones may articulate with little friction.
e. The ECM of bone tissue consists exclusively of calcium phosphate crystals.
