Answer:
<h3>Allows the growth of long bones</h3>
Hyaline cartilage
Hyaline cartilage allows growth of long bones by endochondral ossification, which involves <u>replacement of the initial hyaline cartilage models to bony tissue</u>. This <em>model</em> is <em><u>glass-like</u></em> and formed from the <u>combination of chondroitin sulfate and type II collagen</u>. Aside from bone growth, it's also seen in joints, anterior ends of ribs, upper respiratory tract like larynx, trachea, and bronchi.
<h3>Intervertebral disks, pubic symphysis</h3>
Fibrocartilage
Fibrocartilage is composed of<u> Type 1 and 2 collagen</u>, which contributes to the toughness of this tissue. It is present in these sites due to the dynamic nature of these body parts. This cartilage is able to w<u>ithstand a certain amount of shear and compressive forces</u>. Along with the hyaline cartilage, it also <u>promotes bone formation.</u>
<h3>External ear, epiglottis, and auditory tubes </h3>
Elastic cartilage
Elastic cartilage, or yellow cartilage contains a number of elastic fiber and collagen. Elastin is the primary protein in this tissue, which contributes to the <u>elasticity and flexibility</u> of the above body parts. If observed under the microscope, its structure is same to hyaline but has numerous yellow elastic fibers present, which appear as a dark streak.
<h3>Outer portion of all bones</h3>
Compact bone
Compact bone or cortical bone, is the substance used to form the solid outside structure of the bones.
<h3>Inside skull bones, vertebrae, and sternum</h3>
Spongy bone
Cancellous bone, spongy bone, or trabecular bone is mostly found in the long bones, <u>covered by compact bone</u>. The bone is sponge-like in structure because it <u>houses the blood vessels inside the bones.</u>
<h3>Transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other substances</h3>
Blood
Blood is a connective tissue composed of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets. It also connects bodily systems by t<u>ransporting nutrients, hormones, and chemical messengers, etc.</u>
<h3>Produces new blood cells and stores lipids</h3>
Bone marrow
Bone marrow is found <u>within the spongy bone</u> which houses the young blood cells until they are ready for use by the body or also called hematopoiesis.
<h3>Capable of strength with stretching and recoil in several directions</h3>
Dense irregular elastic connective tissue
For dense irregular elastic connective tissue, the elastic fibers are arranged randomly. This makes the organ <u>stretchable and</u> <u>flexible in all directions and able to return to its original shape</u>. An example of this is the dermis.
<h3>Tensile strength capable of withstanding stretch in all directions</h3>
Dense irregular collagenous connective tissue
Its fibers are also arranged in random but with fibrous tissue. It is also <u>flexible and tougher</u> compared to dense irregular elastic connective tissue. It is usually found in <u>fibrous capsule of joints and muscle fascia.</u>
<h3>Vocal folds and ligaments between vertebrae</h3>
Dense regular elastic connective tissue
For dense regular elastic connective tissue, the elastic fibers are <u>arranged in parallel</u>. It enhances the present tensile strength to a specific direction wherein the fiber is oriented.
<h3>Tendons and ligaments</h3>
Dense regular collagenous connective tissue
For dense regular collagenous connective tissue, the collagen fibers are also arranged in parallel. Tensile strength and resistance is enhanced to a specific direction wherein the fiber is oriented. The role of these tissues is to <u>transfer forces to the bone to avoid injury.</u>
<h3>Provides superstructure for lymphatic tissues</h3>
Reticular tissue
Reticular tissue is found <u>mostly with numerous amounts of cells</u>. They are composed of <em>Type 3 collagen fibrils</em> and is <em>net-like</em> in appearance, also called <em>"reticulum" </em>due to the fiber arrangement (<em>reticulin</em>). They act as a <u>scaffold of the organ/s they cover.</u>
<h3>Energy storage</h3>
Adipose tissue
Adipose tissue is composed of fat cells or adipocytes. It also functions to <u>insulate and cushion</u> the body from hard surfaces.
<h3>Epithelial basement membrane sits on this</h3>
Loose connective tissue
Loose connective tissue or<u> areolar connective tissue</u>, contains a <u>lot of cells, ground matter, and spaces in between it</u>, coining the "loose" in its name. Fibroblasts, collagen fibers, and matrix, etc., are found in almost every part of the body. This helps in <u>keeping the organs in place and some slight tough protection. </u>
<h3>Precursor to adult connective tissues</h3>
Mesenchymal tissue
Mesenchymal tissue <u>forms the body’s connective tissues</u>, from bones, cartilage, to the organ systems. It is found <u>abundant in the development of fetal tissues.</u>
<h3>Umbilical cord of the newborn</h3>
Mucous connective tissue
Mucous connective tissue is also found <u>during development of the embryo</u>. Due to <u>mucoproteins</u>, it resembles a mucus-like substance, as in <u>Wharton's jelly found in the umbilical cord</u> and <u>vitreous in the eyeball.</u>
