Animal Qs.

[Nicolodn]

These are from a practice exam, I’ve already narrowed down my answers, these are the ones I’m not sure about.
THANKS.

The tissue type repsonsible for protection of the body from the external environment?
-skin, epithelium or integument?

I am thinking epithehelium
————————————————————–
Which best explains why long bones are hollowin themiddle?
– lighten them, Wolff’s law (absence of load)?
——————————————————————————————-
Which about collagen is FALSE?
– formed by macromolecular assembly of procallagen, produced by enzymes, or its slight crimp give it elasticity independent of elastin?
———-
Which is false?
– primary cell in fibrocaritlage is fibrochondrocyte or , primary celll type in skeletal muscle is myofibre?
————————————————————————-
Which tissue best resit tensile pure force?
– tendon, muscle elastic cartilage or fibrocartilage?
————————————–
Which does not describe how animal reduce heat loss in cold environment?
– brown adpose tissu, or decrease body temp or countercurrent mechanisms?

THANKS.

do you think it’s the most upper layer or one of the below?

I thinkalso strengthening, because hollow roll is stronger in breaking than full roll

I think first, because it should be protocollagen

quote Nicolodn:

Which is false?
– primary cell in fibrocaritlage is fibrochondrocyte or , primary celll type in skeletal muscle is myofibre?

probably second. It should be probably myocyte

tendon?

quote Nicolodn:

do you know, what is function of brown adipose tissue?
if you lower tbody temp, will you increase or decrese heat loss?
I have no idea what are countercurrent mechanisms 😛
