Question

this is biomedical homework, please adjust my answer:

Loose (areolar) CT

D.

Location: nose, fetal skeleton, ends of long bones

Function: movement, strength, flexibility

Matrix: thin collagen fibers

Adipose CT

B.

Location: shafts of long bones (femur)

Function: protection

Matrix: collagen and calcium salts

Dense regular CT

H.

Location: dermis of the skin

Function: support

Matrix: densely packed collagen fibers

Dense irregular CT

J.

Location: blood vessels and heart

Function: transport gases, hormones, immune function, blood clotting proteins

Matrix: plasma

Hyaline cartilage CT

E.

Location: disks of vertebrae, knee joint

Function: strength and support

Matrix: strong collagen fibers

Elastic cartilage CT

G.

Location: under skin

Function: elasticity

Matrix: collagen and elastic fibers

Fibrocartilage CT

F.

Location: primarily under skin, around organs

Function: insulation, protection, energy storage

Matrix: very little matrix and protein fibers present

Compact Bone (CT)

I.

Location: tendons and ligaments

Dense Irregular CT- H) Location: dermis of the skin. Function: support. Matrix: densely packed collagen fibers.

Dense regular CT- I) Location: tendon and ligaments. Function: connect muscle to bone(tendon), bone to bone(ligament). Matrix: densely packed, parallel collagen fibers.

Hyaline cartilage CT- D) Location: nose, fetal skeleton, ends of long bones. Function: movement, strength, flexibility. Matrix: thin collagen fibers.

Elastic cartilage CT- C) Location: outer ear. Function: elasticity/flexibility. Matrix: mainly elastic fibers.

Fibrocartilage CT- E) Location: disc of vertebrae, knee joint. Function: strength and support. Matrix: strong collagen fibers.

Compact bone CT- B) Location: shafts of long bone(femur).Function: protection. Matrix: collagen and calcium salts.

Blood- J) Location: blood vessels and heart. Function: transport gases, hormones, immune function, blood clotting proteins. Matrix: plasma.

Lymph- A) Location: lymphatic tissue. Function: white blood cell congregate here(immunity). Matrix: lymph.
