fibrocartilage is found in intervertebral discs

true

in an epithelium, there is almost no extracellular matrix

is found in the heart

epithelial tissue

lines body cavities, covers the body surface, forms the lining of many organs

hyperextensible joints

marfan syndrome is a hereditary defect in elastin fibers. People with this syndrome have

neuroglia

nervous tissue consists of neurons and

adipose tissue

new triglycerides are constantly synthesized and stored and others are hydrolyzed and released into circulation mostly from cells in

transport nutrients to the tissue

one of its functions is to

fibroblasts

produce the fibers and ground substance that form the matrix of fibrous connective tissue

true

scar tissue helps to hold an organ together but does not restore normal function of the damaged tissue

chondroblasts

secrete the rubbery matrix of cartilage

true

smooth and cardiac muscles are under involuntary control

epithelium and connective tissue

the basement membrane is found between
