Answer:
Blood : It is a fluid (liquid) connectivity tissue. In this tissue, the cells move in a fluid matrix or medium called blood plasma. The blood plasma contains cells called blood corpuscles which include red blood corpuscles (RBCs), white blood corpuscles (WBCs) and platelets. RBCs and WBCs are living while plasma and platelets are non-living components.
Cartilage : The cartilage is a specialised connective tissue which is compact and less vascular. It provides support and flexibility to the body parts and also smoothens bone surfaces at joints. Cartilage has widely spaced cells and is present in the nose, ear and larynx.
Bone : Bone is very strong and non-flexible tissue embedded in a hard matrix made up of both organic matter (protein) and inorganic matter (calcium and phosphorous compounds). It provides shape and skeletal support to the body.
