Question

Difference between adipose and blood tissue

Answer 1

ADIPOSE TISSUE- Adipose tissue, or fat tissue, is considered a connective tissue even though it does not have fibroblasts or a real matrix, and has only a few fibers. Adipose tissue is composed of cells called adipocytes that collect and store fat in the form of triglycerides for energy metabolism.

BLOOD TISSUE- Blood is considered a connective tissue because it has a matrix. The living cell types are red blood cells, also called erythrocytes, and white blood cells, also called leukocytes . The fluid portion of whole blood, its matrix, is commonly called plasma.
