Answer 2

Answer: Structure

• 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.

Function

• Enclosing and separating.

• Connecting tissues to one another.

• Supporting and moving.

• Storing.

• Cushioning and insulating.

• Transporting.

• Protecting.
