MCAT Biology › Connective Tissue Types and Properties
What are the four types of tissue?
Which of the following is not an example of connective tissue?
Which of the following connective tissues serves to link skeletal muscle to bone?
Passage:
In a fictional universe, a new life form is discovered that appears to have a number of similarities to humans. Since its discovery by humans, it has been studied with x-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography imaging (CT), as well as with blood chemistries and laboratory studies. Based upon such analyses, scientists have found that both structurally and functionally, this fictional species, called Lorempis marengis, is highly similar to humans. It has structures that appear similar to lungs that are active during respiration. It has a structure that is highly active at all times, especially so in different parts during different activities (similar to the human brain). It also appears to have a digestive tract with a mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus that is assumed to carry out the same functions at the cellular level as the parts of the human digestive tract. Scientists are now hoping to continue studying the organism at the cellular level to confirm their assumption that the cellular functions are indeed similar to those of human tissues.
If we assume that the muscle types and cells present in Lorempis marengis are the same, structurally and functionally, as those found in humans, which of the following muscle types best describes the type of muscle cell that lines the walls of most blood vessels?
