What is connective tissue and it's type
Answers
blood is a type of connective tissue the cells of connective tissue are loosely spaced and embedded in an intracellular matrix The Matrix maybe Jelly like fluid dense or rigid. the nature of metric differ in Concor dance with the function of the particular connective tissue blood connective.. blood has a fluid Matrix called plasma in which red blood cells and white blood cells and platelets are suspended blood flows and transport gaseous digest food hormone and waste material to different part of the body bone connective tissue is the another example of a connective tissue it forms the Framework that support the body it also anchor the muscles and sport the main organ of the body it is strong and non flexible tissue areolar connective tissue is found between the skin and muscles around the blood vessels and nerves in the bone marrow it fills the space inside the organ spot internal organ and help it repair of tissue ... hope it helps u plzz mark as brainlist
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
In the body of complex animals connective tissues are widely ranged and they have a specialized functioning of linking and supporting the various parts of our body. That's why they are called connective tissue.
It has three main components :- cell, fibres and ground tissue. Fibres helps in providing support, flexibility and elasticity to the tissue and ground tissues are the fluids that fills spaces between the fluid and the cell.
Connective tissues are of three types:-
- Loose connective tissue
- Dense connective tissue
- Special connective tissue
Loose connective tissue
Loose connective tissue are those tissues which are loosely arranged in a semi-fluid ground tissue and are divided into three types i.e. Areolar and Adipose.
- Areolar connective tissue:- These are those connective tissue which contains all the cells and fibres in thin fliud like ground tissue. It is simplest and most widely distributed tissue. It is found in between skins and muscles and also at various organs of the body.
- Adipose connective tissue:- These are those loose connective tissue which help to store fats and packed by adipocytes. Adipocytes are those cells which contains large droplet of fat and in that cell neucles and cytoplasm is peripheral. It is found in bone marrow and internal organs of the body.
Dense connective tissue
Dense connective tissues are those tissues which are compactly packed and consisis of predominately fibres. These are of two types :- Tendons and Ligaments.
- Tendons:- Tendons are those connective tissues which are tightly packed in thick parallel bundles and these have great strenght as well as no flexibility. It helps to bind the muscles and bones together. An injury in tendon is known as strain.
- Ligaments:- Ligaments are the tough fibrous tissue and these tissues have great elsaticity but are strong too. These tissues are helping to connect bone to bone at joints and help internal organs. An injury in ligamet is known as sprain.
Special connective tissues
Special connective tissue are those type of connective tissue which have unique cell and extracellular matrix which performs specialized functions. These are of three types :- Cartilage, Bone and Blood.
- Cartilage:- Cartilage tissue are those special tissue which are compact and less vascular. They also have special cells known as chondrocytes which are present in the small cavity known as lacunae within matrix produced by them. This matrix compose of proteins and calcium salts. It is present in tip of nose, ear pinna, epiglottis etc.
- Bones:- These are the specialized connective tissue which consists of magnesium and clacium salts. The matrix of these bones are made of concentric circle known as lamellae. Between lamellae in fluid filled spaces called lacunae there present the bone cells and these give strenght and shape to our body by providing skeletal framework.
- Blood:- These are those special connective tissue which are in fluid form and helps in transportation of various substances. In this fluid the matrix which is known as plasma consists of 55% of total volume of blood and lack fibres and rest 45% by RBC and WBC. It is a fluid in which 90% water and 10% inorganic salts and organic compounds are present. It contains RBC, WBC and plasma.
