Question

how connective tissuedifferent from other animal tissue

Answer 1

Explanation

Irregularly-arranged fibrous connective tissues are found in areas of the body where stress occurs from all directions, such as the dermis of the skin. Regular fibrous connective tissue is found in tendons (which connect muscles to bones) and ligaments (which connect bones to bones

Connective tissue (CT) is one of the four basic types of animal tissue, along with epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. It develops from the mesoderm. Connective tissue is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body, including the nervous system\

animal tissue is a type of tissue only found in animal body

There are four basic types of tissue in the body of all animals, including the human body. These make up all the organs, structures and other contents of the body. figure below shows an example of each tissue type.

The four basic types of animal tissue are:

Epithelial tissue is made up of layers of tightly packed cells that line the surfaces of the body for protection, secretion, and absorption. Examples of epithelial tissue include the skin, the lining of the mouth and nose, and the lining of the digestive system.

Muscle tissue is made up of cells contain contractile filaments that move past each other and change the size of the cell. There are three types of muscle tissue: smooth muscle which is found in the inner linings of organs; skeletal muscle, which is attached to bone and moves the body; and cardiac muscle which is found only in the heart.

Nervous tissue is made up of the nerve cells (neurons) that together form the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord.

Connective tissue is made up of many different types of cells that are all involved in structure and support of the body. Bone, blood, fat, and cartilage are all connective tissues. Connective tissue can be densely packed together, as bone cells are, or loosely packed, as adipose tissue (fat cells) are.

Answer 2

As compared to other tissues, the cells of connective tissue are separated from each other. The space between the cells is composed of a non-cellular matrix.


Tissue
Characteristics
Location
Function
Epithelial
Flat, cuboidal
or columnar cells

Covers the whole body surface
Protection, absorption, secretion, sensory perception
Connective
Consists of a matrix and the cells are embedded
In it

Found in the deeper parts of the body, between the skin and muscles
Connects various
organs and keeps
them in place
Muscle
Consists of elongated,
narrow, muscle cells called muscle fibres

Mostly attached to the bones
Helps in contraction and relaxation of the body
Nervous
Made up of elongated
cells called neurons
Component of the
nervous system and
encompasses the brain,
spinal cord and nerves
Nerve cells mediate the transmission of messages from the brain to different
parts of the body and vice versa
