"tissue engineering" and "regenerative medicine" are largely interchangeable terms
(true or false) - correct answer true
arrange from least complex to most complex: pancreas, heart, bone, skin, cartilage,
brain, tendon, liver, kidney, blood vessels - correct answer skin, tendon, bone, cartilage,

stability (true or false) - correct answer false (correct: ...and lack of compatibility...)
much of tissue engineering remains ___. - correct answer empirical
Skin and bone are examples of engineered tissue that have already been approved by
the FDA (true or false) - correct answer false (correct: ...skin and cartilage are
examples...)
skin is a more complicated organ than blood vessels (true or false) - correct answer
