Question

2. Write any two functions of:
a) Adipose tissue
b) Cartilage
c) blood

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Adipose tissue is a specialized connective tissue consisting of lipid-rich cells called adipocytes.

Cartilage is a resilient and smooth elastic tissue, a rubber-like padding that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints and nerves, and is a structural component of the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes, the intervertebral discs, and many other body components.

Blood is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells. In vertebrates, it is composed of blood cells suspended in blood plasma.
