Why do we consider blood as a connective tissue?
Answers
Blood is a connective tissue as it is mesodermally derived and contains an extra-cellular matrix known as plasma. It is abundant and a widely distributed tissue in the body. Connective tissues link and bind, providing support to other organs of the body thereby transporting oxygen and other nutrients within the body, eliminating waste products from the body and flows throughout the body. Hence, it is considered as a connective tissue.
Answer:
Connective tissues have cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix. They connect different body systems. Blood is considered as a type of connective tissue because it connects the body systems, transports oxygen and nutrients to all the parts of the body, and removes the waste products. that's why we consider them as connective tissue..hope it helps you!
