Answer:

- Parallel arrangement of collagen fibers: Dense regular connective tissue (CT)

- Transports oxygen and hormones: Bood

- Contains chondrocytes: Cartilage

- Stores minerals: Bone

- Random arrangement of collagen fibers: Dense irregular connective tissue (CT)

- Cushions and insulates: Adipose tissue

Explanation:

The dense regular connective tissue (CT) is a type of connective tissue composed of collagen fibers arranged in a parallel pattern which provides a strong association between tissues (e.g., tendons and ligaments). Conversely, in dense irregular connective tissue, collagen fibers are not arranged in parallel bundles (e.g., the dermis in the skin and lamina propria in the gastrointestinal tract). Cartilage is a type of flexible connective tissue composed of chondrocytes, the unique type of cells in cartilage tissues. Chondrocytes are responsible to produce and maintain the collagen extracellular matrix (ECM) which is composed mainly of collagen and proteoglycans (proteins coated with sugar molecules). Bone is a type of connective tissue composed of cells (i.e., osteoblasts, bone lining cells, osteocytes, and osteoclasts), fibers and ground substance. Bones have many functions including, among others, store minerals (calcium and phosphate), protect internal organs, allow movement, provide internal support, etc. Blood is a type of connective tissue (because blood has a matrix) whose main function is to transport oxygen (O2) and essential substances (e.g., nutrients, hormones, etc) to the tissues, and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the tissues to the lungs. Blood contains two different types of cells: red blood cells (i.e., erythrocytes) and white blood cells (i.e., leukocytes). Finally, adipose tissue is a special type of connective tissue in the subcutaneous layer that helps to cushion and insulate the body (providing insulation from heat and cold). Adipose tissue is composed mostly of adipocytes, which are cells that store energy in the form of lipid molecules.

Why did separate systemic and pulmonary circulations evolve in species that have the high-pressure circulatory system required f
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The separate systemic and the pulmonary conditions all evolve in the species that are having the high pressure circulatory system required for rapid movement of blood because if pulmonary was under pressure as high as that of the system circulation.

Explanation:

Here, it is given that the separate systemic and the pulmonary circulations evolve in the species.

And those species have the high pressure circulatory system for blood movement rapidly because if the pulmonary was under pressure as high as that of systemic circulation.

Also the fluid amount that will flow would be forced out of the cappilaries in the lungs.

Now, there is a conflict between the thin surface required for efficient exchange of gases.

Also, the thick blood vessels are required to withstand the high blood pressures.
