Question

the most likely place to find loose, (areolar) tissue would be * 1 point
in the hypodermis
in the dermis
in the muscles
pancreas
what is the protein that fills the outermost dead cells of the epidermis? * 1 point
granstein
dermis
melanin
keratin

Explanation:

• First Question: Loose (areolar) tissue is a type of connective tissue. The hypodermis (also known as the subcutaneous layer) is mainly composed of adipose tissue and loose connective tissue. The dermis has dense irregular connective tissue. Muscles are made of muscle tissue (skeletal, smooth, or cardiac). The pancreas is an organ with epithelial and connective tissue components but not a typical site for loose areolar tissue.
• Second Question: Keratin is the protein that fills the outermost dead cells (stratum corneum) of the epidermis. Granstein is not a relevant protein in this context. The dermis is a layer of skin (not a protein). Melanin is a pigment (not the protein filling the outermost dead epidermal cells).

Answer:

• First Question: In the hypodermis
• Second Question: keratin
