17) Derived from mesenchyme. C) Tendon
Tendon is fibrous connective tissue (made of collagen) that connects muscle to bone.
18) Has a surface to which nothing is attached B) Skin epidermis.
Epidermis is one of the three skin layers (other two are dermis and hypodermis) of skin that provides a barrier to infection from environmental pathogens.
9) Moves blood through the body. D) Cardiac muscle
Cardiac muscle is found in heart which pumps blood through the whole body.
20) Moves food through the GI tract. A) Smooth muscle
Motility through the GI tract is achieved by the contractions of ring smooth muscles (peristalsis).

21) Smooth muscle. B) Moderate regenerative ability.
Cells called pericytes are cells that can regenerate smooth muscle cells. Also, smooth muscle cells themselves retain the ability to divide and thus regenerate (increase their own number).
22) Skeletal muscle C) Weak regenerative ability
Skeletal muscle contain 'satellite cells'-stem cells that have the ability to regenerate and repair the damaged fibres.
23) Cardiac muscle A) Virtually no functional regenerative ability.
When the cell of cardiac muscle-cardiac muscle cells die, they are not replaced.
24) Areolar connective tissue. D) Regenerates extremely well
Areolar connective tissue is loose connective tissue that hold organs in place. Fibroblasts are cells widely dispersed in this tissue
25) Tendons and ligaments. B) Moderate regenerative ability
Healing or regeneration of ligaments and tendons can come from the surrounding soft tissues ("extrinsic healing"), or from the ligament /tendon itself ("intrinsic healing").
