What type of tissue is she observing? / 20.Which is not a feature ofconnective
tissues?
a.Name based on cellshape
b.Produces red bloodcells
c.Includes fibers in a nonlivingmatrix
d.Used for energystorage

through this hard matrix? / 22. Red bone marrow contains stem cells that continually divide to produce new cells that mature into different types of blood cells.
Where in the body is red marrow found? Sketch a picture of this site with red cells being produced.
23. Connective Tissue stores energy and insulates the body against the cold.
What type of connective tissue is in charge of these functions? / 24. Below your skin there is connective tissue that provides strength and resistance to multidirectional stretching.
