(b) Bone(c) Blood
(d) Adipose

Answer 1

Bone is not a specialised connective tissue

Answer 2

Answer:

All of the above are specialised connective tissues.

Explanation:

Connective tissues are those tissues which connect two or more different parts of or in the human.

i.e.

• Cartilage: Cartilage is the main type of connective tissue seen throughout the body. It serves a variety of structural and functional purposes. There are different types cartilaginous tissues throughout our joints, bones, spine, lungs, ears and nose.
• Bone: Bone is a type of mineral connective tissue that contains collagen and calcium phosphate, a mineral crystal. Calcium phosphate gives bone its firmness. There are two types of bone tissue namely spongy and compact.
• Blood: Blood is one of the connective tissues. As a connective tissue, it consists of cells and cell fragments (formed elements) suspended in an intercellular matrix (plasma). Blood is the only liquid tissue in the body that measures about 5 litres in the adult human and accounts for 8 percent of the body weight.
• Adipose: Adipose tissue or fatty tissue, is a connective tissue consisting mainly of fat cells (adipose cells, or adipocytes), specialized to synthesize and contain large globules of fat, within a structural network of fibres.

Blood, bone, cartilage and adipose are called connective tissue because of the following reasons:

1. They serve the function of making a structural framework.
2. They connect different parts of the body.
3. These tissues have a mesodermal origin (except adipose).

Therefore,

All specialized connective tissues are the tendons, ligaments, bone, cartilage, blood and adipose tissue.
