  1. Question 1
    A nurse is reviewing why the spleen and lymph nodes can trap cells and pathogens while still allowing fluid to move through. Which connective tissue fiber forms the delicate supportive meshwork (stroma) in many lymphoid organs?
  2. Question 2
    A patient has a connective tissue disorder that leads to frequent joint dislocations and fragile skin due to reduced tensile strength in the extracellular matrix. Which connective tissue fiber is most directly responsible for providing tensile strength?
  3. Question 3
    In emphysema, destruction of certain extracellular matrix fibers reduces the lungs’ ability to recoil during exhalation. Which connective tissue fiber is primarily responsible for stretch and recoil in tissues such as the lungs and large arteries?
  4. Question 4
    A nursing student compares connective-tissue fiber types. Which pairing of fiber and primary function is MOST accurate?
  5. Question 5
    A patient with chronic hypertension has arterial walls that become stiff and less able to expand with each heartbeat. This change is most consistent with an increase in which extracellular matrix fiber type that resists stretching?
