The supportive skeletal structures in the human external ears and in the nose tip are example of:

(1) Ligament

(2) Areolar tissue

(3) Bone

(4) Cartilage

The excess of nutrients which are not used immediately are converted into fats and stored in 

1. Areolar tissue

2. Adipose tissue

3. Dense regular connective tissue

4. Dense irregular connective tissue

Tendon and ligament are example of 

(1) dense regular connective tissue

(2) dense irregular connective tissue

(3) loose connective tissue

(4) specialised connective tissue

Select the incorrectly matched pair from the following:

1. Chondrocytes - Smooth muscle cells

2. Neurons - Nerve cells

3. Fibroblast - Areolar tissue

4. Osteocytes - Bone cells

Strength, elasticity and flexibility to tissues is provided by the fibres of :

(1) Elastin

(2) Adipose tissue

(3) Elastin and collagen

(4) Areolar tissue

Identify figure-I and II, structures A and B respectively? Figures are related with specialised connective tissues:

Loose connective tissue has cells and fibres loosely arranged in a semifluid ground substance. Which of the following can be taken as an example of it?

(1) Areolar tissue

(2) Cartilage

(3) Adipose tissue

(4) Both (1) and (3)

Which of the following structures or substances is
incorrectly paired with a tissue ?
1. Haversian system—bone
2. platelets—blood
3. fibroblasts—skeletal muscle
4. chondroitin sulfate—cartilage

Choose the correct option, pairing the principal cell

with the tissue

(1) Mast cell         $-$  Adipose tissue

(2) Fibroblasts      $-$  Areolar tissue

(3) Macrophages   $-$  Tendon

(4) Chondroclasts  $-$  Bone
