why is blood classified as connective tissue?

Question

A It connects all of the organs of the body.
B. Its cells are widely dispersed and sur-
rounded by a fuid.
C. Its cells are not stationary.
D. It contains multiple types of cells.
E. It supplies nutrients to multiple organs in
the body.

Answer 1

i guess the closest would be e, though none are really good ...

Connective tissue is one of the four types of tissue in traditional classifications (the others being epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissue.) It is largely a category of exclusion rather than one with a precise definition, but all or most tissues in this category are similarly:

* Involved in structure and support.
* Derived from mesoderm (there are exceptions).
* Characterized largely by the traits of non-living tissue.

Blood, cartilage, and bone are usually considered connective tissue, but because they differ so substantially from the other tissues in this class, the phrase "connective tissue proper" is commonly used to exclude those three. There is also variation in the classification of embryonic connective tissues; on this page they will be treated as a third and separate category.

Answer 2

curiously sufficient, blood is seen to be a style of connective tissue. besides the undeniable fact that it has a different function in assessment to different connective tissues it does have an extracellular matrix. The matrix is the plasma and erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets that are suspended interior the plasma.

Answer 3

None of the above...it's classified as connective tissue because living blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells) are found within an extracellular matrix consisting of nonliving tissue. I guess B would be the "best" answer.
