Concept explainers
To discuss:
The appearance, functions, and locations of adipose tissues and differences between the white fat and brown fat.
Introduction:
Connective tissues are abundant and a widely distributed tissue type among the other tissue classes. It plays an important role in connection, and for separation of tissues and organs. It is a primary tissue because it connects the bones and cartilage for the shape and movement of organisms. It fills the spaces between the tissue and organ to provide structural and

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY THE UNITY OF FORM
- Name the specific names of cells found in adipose tissuearrow_forwardThe micrographs of areolar and adipose tissue both show cells (fibroblasts and adipocytes), but the density of cells in the two tissues is very different. What do you think causes this difference?arrow_forwardA major tenet of the cell theory is that all bodily structure and function result from the function of cells. Yet the structural properties of bone are due more to its extracellular material than to its cells. Is this an exception to the cell theory? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- How would you distinguish between simple and stratified epithelium? What characteristic of stratified ephithelium might explain why it, rather than simple epithelium, is found lining the oral cavity, esophagus, and vagina?arrow_forwardWhat is the reason behind brown colour of adipose tissue?arrow_forwardWhat feature distinguishes adipose tissue from other connective tissues?arrow_forward
- FIBROCARTILAGE CONNECTIVE TISSUE What is the main cell type in this tissue? [ Select ] [A."fibroblast", B."osteocyte", C."adipocyte", D."chondrocyte"] How are the cells arranged? [ Select ] [A."randomly, looks like bubbles", B."in perpendicular arrangement to neighboring collagen fibers", C."sits within clearly visible thick bundles of collagen fibers within the extracellular matrix"] What is the name of the structure that houses the main cell type? [ Select ] ["A.cytohome", B."cell house", C."osteon", D."lacuane"] True or false: this cartilage type has a perichondrium. ["false", "true"] What is the location of this cartilage? [ Select ] [A."epiglottis, par of external ear, auditory tubes", B."most…arrow_forwardSkeletal muscle is composed of very hard working cells. Which organelles do you expect to find in abundance in skeletal muscle cell? nuclei striations golgi bodies mitochondriaarrow_forwardConnective tissue is made of which three essential components? cells, ground substance, and carbohydrate fibers cells, ground substance, and protein fibers collagen, ground substance, and protein fibers matrix, ground substance, and fluidarrow_forward
- Collagen is the main protein component of the ECM. The process of collagen synthesis is complex and it occurs intra- and extra-cellularly involving different organelles. Explain in details the collagen synthesis process.arrow_forwardA paralyzed patient undergoing physical therapy to keep the bones and muscles active, what types of bone cells will be involved?arrow_forward44. Structure "1" is ______________. cartilage mucus goblet cells mucos glandarrow_forward
