Question 12

Which of the following best explains why cartilage heals more slowly than skin?

Accepted Answer

Cartilage is avascular (lacks blood supply)

Question 13

Which of the following is a correct pairing of connective tissue cell type and its function?

Accepted Answer

Adipocyte – stores fat

Question 14

A biopsy reveals a tissue with multiple layers of flat cells. Which type of epithelial tissue is this?

Accepted Answer

Stratified squamous epithelium

Question 15

Which of the following best describes the difference between simple and stratified epithelial tissue?

Accepted Answer

They form a branching, interwoven framework in organs

Question 18

Which of the following best explains why epithelial tissue is dependent on underlying connective tissue?
