Question

Connective tissue is the most diverse of all tissue types. Why do you think that is? Why do you think blood and lymph are classified as a type of connective tissue?

Answer 1

Connective tissue is the most diverse of all tissue types. why do you think that is?

-all have same embryonic origin (mesoderm)

-most abundant and diverse type of tissues
-cells separated by extracellular matrix
-does not occur on free surfaces
-usually highly vascularized

Connective tissue makes up an assortment of physical structures including, tendons, blood, cartilage, bone, adipose tissue, and lymphatic tissue.

Classes of connective tissue

• Connective tissue proper
• Cartilage
• Bone
• Blood

Connective tissue has moderately couple of cells isolated by a lot of extracellular matrices (instead of epithelial tissue which shows high cellularity). The matrix of blood isn't sinewy however and is the plasma.

All have a typical embryonic beginning known as mesenchyme. Mesenchyme's are undifferentiated loose connective tissue that is fit for forming into connective tissue, for example, bone and cartilage.

The postfix - BLAST generally implies youthful cell or tissue and is associated with making something, for this situation, the matrix. Anything with a - cyte addition implies CELL and is keeping up or included with the last item.

Why do you think blood and lymph are classified as a type of connective tissue?

These are considered as connective tissue for two basic reasons:

(1) embryologically, it has the same origin (mesodermal) as do the other connective tissue types.

(2) blood connects the body systems together bringing the needed oxygen, nutrients, hormones and other signalling molecules, and removing the wastes.

In circulating blood two different cell types are found: enucleated erythrocytes or red blood cells and nucleated leukocytes or white blood cells.
