Learning Target #3: Compare the function, location and distinguishing characteristics of the 4 main types of tissue.

Connective Tissue Where is connective tissue found? A. Makes up glands B. Widely distibuted C. Lines organs D. All the above Answer: B True or False: Connective tissue has cells that are further apart, minimal blood supply, and matrix between the cells. Answer: False – good blood supply

Connective Tissue What are the functions of connective tissue? A. Protect, bind, fill spaces, absorption B. Bind, support, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells, transport C. Secretion, protection, excretion, absorption D. Fill spaces, produce blood cells, transport, secretion, protection Answer: B

Connective Tissue Describe the 3 types of matrix that connective tissue may have. 1. Protein matrix B A. Water-based solution 2. Protein/ground C B. Has a dominance of substance matrix protein fibers 3. Fluid matrix A C. some protein fibers, a. great deal of nonfibrous protein
