suspended in a nuid matrix contains that of cells 40) The is called formed elements which contains the cells and fibers all connective inthe body is tissue adult 41 The least specialized D0 fibrous connective tissue dead cells or invading pathogens, E) dense regular incoanective engulf system. activate the immune and release chemicals that attract many more mast cells fibrocytes respond by dividing to When injury damages or destroys connective tissues, the cells. produce daughter that differentiate fibroblasts, or other connective tissue A) resting macrophages B) D) mesenchymal cells consists of 3 fibrous protein subunits wound together like the strands of a rope; it is nexible, yet E) mast cells 44) A(n) very strong when pulled by either end. A) collagen fiber C) elastic fiber D) reticular fiber E) fibroblast is highly vascularized, very active biochemically, and its individual cells contain numerous mitochondria, which gives the tissue a deep, rich color.

Explanation / Answer

I shall answer the first four subquestions:

40. Blood - It has a fluid matrix called plasma and red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets as formed elements suspended in plasma.

41. Areolar connective tissue - possesses all types of connective tissue cells like fibroblasts, mast cells, macrophages and both fibres, collagen and elastin.

42. Mast cells - Release heparin and histamine to attract other immune cells.

43. Mesenchymal cells - In the case of injury, they differentiate to form fibrocytes and other types of cells and fibres of connective tissue.
