Question

describe structure of connective tissues​

Answer 1

Answer:

• A connective tissue is made up of three components: matrix, cells and fibres.

• The matrix is mainly a mixture of modified polysaccharides and proteins, which are secreted by the component cells of the tissue.

• Different types of cells such as fibroblasts, mast cells, adipose cells etc. occur in the matrix.

• In all connective tissues except blood, the cells secrete fibres made of collagen or elastin protein.

• These fibres provide strength, elasticity and flexibility to the tissue.
