Which of the following type of tissue is being described by the given statements ?
- They are named because of their special function of linking and supporting other tissues/organs of the body.
- They include cartilage, bone, adipose and blood.
- They provide strength, elasticity and flexibility to the tissue.
- They also secrete modified polysaccharides, which accumulate between cells and fibres and act as matrix.
Epithelial tissue
Connective tissue
Muscle tissue
Neural tissue
Correct Answer :
B. Connective tissue
Connective tissue is a group of tissues in the body that maintains the form of the body and its organs and provides cohesion and internal support. The connective tissues include several types of fibrous tissue that vary only in their density and cellularity, as well as the more specialized and recognizable variants-bone, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and adipose (fat) tissue.
