Question

Areolar connective tissue joins
A. Fat body with muscles
B. Integument with muscles
C. Bones with muscles
D. Bones with bones

Answer 1

Hint: Connective tissue is the most abundant tissue type in the body, which consists of mesenchymal originated cells and extracellular matrix. This extracellular matrix is made up of protein fibers and ground substance.

Complete answer:
As we know, connective tissues bind one organ to the organs, hold organs in place, cushion them, and fill space. There are 6 main types of connective tissue. Loose areolar connective, Adipose tissue, Blood and blood forming tissues, Dense connective tissue, Cartilage and Bone.
- Loose areolar connective tissue which holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues,
- Adipose tissue which connects fat to tissue,
- Blood and blood forming tissues which transport gases and nutrition throughout the body,
- Dense connective tissue which binds bones and muscles together,
- Cartilage which connects bone to bone and
- Bone which gives physical support to the body.

So, we have four options. Our first option is a fat body with muscles. As we know, that fat to muscle is connected by adipose tissue. Next option is Integument with muscles. Integuments with muscles are connected by loose areolar connective tissue so this option is correct. Third option is bones with muscles. As we already mentioned that bones to muscles are connected by dense connective tissue and our last option is bones with bones. As we know cartilage connects bones to bones.

Hence, The correct answer is option (B).

Note: Areola is found surrounding the blood vessels, muscles, neurons and some organs. It also fills the spaces between organs and connects skin to the muscle. It is called areola because of its airy appearance.
