Explanation / Answer

Answer:

5. a. Stratified squamous keratinized epithelium:

Multiple layers of cells resists mechanical stress.

b. Simple squamous epithelium:

Thin tissue allow substances to cross rapidly.

c. Hyaline cartilage:

High content of ground substance in the ECM provides a smooth, frictionless surface that resists compression.

d. Bone:

Rings of bone matrix create a tough, hard tissue able to resist tension and compression.

6. Dense irregular collagenous CT does not contain contractile muscle fibers and would therefore be unable to perform the functions of muscle tissue.
