Making Connections
Areolar tissue and reticular tissue both have a diverse array of
cell types. What does this characteristic tell you about the
functions of these connective tissues?
Dense Connective Tissues
Most of the volume of dense connective tissues is oCcupied by
extracellular fibers. The body has three types of dense connective tissues: dense regular connective tissue,
dense irregular connective tissue, and elastic tissue.
Explain why this type of tissue is well suited for
as tendons and ligaments.

The process of converting electrical signals to chemical signals and back requires subtle changes that can result in transient increases or decreases in membrane voltage. To cause a lasting change in the target cell, multiple signals are usually added together, or summated. Does spatial summation have to happen all at once, or can the separate signals arrive on the postsynaptic neuron at slightly different times? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardVisit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/nervetissue3) to learn about how nervous tissue is composed of neurons and glial cells. The neurons are dynamic cells with the ability to make a vast number of connections and to respond incredibly quickly to stimuli and to initiate movements based on those stimuli. They are the focus of intense research as failures in physiology can lead to devastating illnesses. Why are neurons only found in animals?
