Question

write the location and function of the following types of connective tissues? (1)blood (2)lymph (3)cartilage (4)bones (5)tendons​

Answer 1

Answer:

1)-This is considered a specialized form of connective tissue. Blood is a bodily fluid in animals that delivers necessary substances, such as nutrients and oxygen, to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

It is an atypical connective tissue since it does not bind, connect, or network with any body cells. It is made up of blood cells and is surrounded by a nonliving fluid called plasma.

2)Lymph is a mobile connective tissue comprising lymph plasma (fluid) and lymph corpuscles (cells).

3)-Cartilage

This is a flexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies of humans and other animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the elbow, the knee, the ankle, the bronchial tubes, and the intervertebral discs.

Cartilage is composed of specialized cells called chondroblasts and, unlike other connective tissues, cartilage does not contain blood vessels. Cartilage is classified in three types: 1) elastic cartilage, 2) hyaline cartilage, and 3) fibrocartilage, which differ in the relative amounts of these three main components.

4)-Bone is the hardest tissue in the body and supports various organs. The matrix is tough containing both inorganic and organic substances. The inorganic salts present in the matrix are calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, calcium fluoride, magnesium phos­phate, etc.

If a bone is dried, its organic matter (living matter) is destroyed and inorganic part is left behind. On the other hand if a bone is kept in a dilute HCL for some time, its inorganic part is dissolved and organic part is left behind.

Such a bone is called decalcified bone. Study of a dried bone shows its inorganic matter, while that of a decalcified bone reveals the animal matter. Thus bone may be studied in two forms: decalcified and dried.

5)- White Fibrous Cords (Tendons):

The white fibrous con­nective tissue forms cords called tendons which connect the skeletal muscles with the bones.
