Question

which of the following is not a cell found in connective tissue? 1 point adipocytes chondroblasts keratinocytes osteoblasts what is the difference between \loose\ connective tissue (ct) and \dense\ 1 point connective tissue? fibres occupy most of the volume in dense ct dense ct includes cartilage, loose ct does not. loose ct has a good blood supply while dense ct does not. loose ct has no fibers (and dense ct does).

Explanation:

First question:

• Adipocytes (fat cells) are found in adipose tissue (a type of connective tissue).
• Chondroblasts are involved in cartilage (connective tissue) formation.
• Osteoblasts are for bone (connective tissue) formation.
• Keratinocytes are in the epidermis (epithelial tissue), not connective tissue.

Second question:

• In dense connective tissue, fibers (collagen, elastic etc.) occupy most of the volume.
• Cartilage is a separate type of connective tissue (not just part of dense CT).
• Both loose and dense CT have a blood supply (though maybe different in density - but the key difference is fiber volume).
• Loose CT has fibers (just fewer relative to ground substance compared to dense CT).

Answer:

First question: keratinocytes
Second question: Fibres occupy most of the volume in dense CT
