Exocrine gland
What type of gland secretes hormones into a body fluid?
Endocrine gland
What is the most abundant tissue in a vertebrate body that binds, supports, strengthens, protects, and insulates other tissues?
What type of connective tissue has two types that include the same components, but in different proportions?
Soft connective tissue
What is the main cell type in soft connective tissue that secretes collagen and other components of extracellular matrix?
Fibroblast
What type of connective tissue is the most abundant and consists of fibroblasts widely scattered in a secreted matrix?
Loose connective tissue
What type of connective tissue may have a regular or irregular arrangement that is stronger than loose connective tissue?
Dense connective tissue
What type of connective tissue wraps and cushions organs and is found under the skin that is a gel-like ground with both elastic and non-elastic fibers running in many directions?
Loose connective tissue (Areolar)
What type of connective tissue has nuclei and fibers arranged in parallel rows and is found in tendons and ligaments where the fibers are mostly non-elastic?
