Question

Why is blood considered to be a fluid connective tissue?

Answer 1

1. The blood and the lymph are the fluid connective tissues that link different parts of the body. The cells of the connective tissue are loosely spaced and are embedded in an intercellular matrix.
2. Blood contains corpuscles which are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leucocytes), and platelets. In this fluid connective tissue, blood cells move in a fluid matrix called plasma. The plasma contains inorganic salts and organic substances. It is a main circulating fluid that helps in the transport of nutrient substances.
