What type of tissue binds and supports other tissues?

What tissue gives support to the body?


Why are certain types of connective tissue called support tissues?

Certain types of connective tissue called support tissues. The support tissue is cartilage and bone. It is called support tissue because it supports the muscles of the body and gives the whole body a frame.


What gives bone compressional strength?

inorganic salts


Is smooth muscle a connective tissue type?

Muscle tissue and connective are different because muscular tissue is specialized for an ability to contract. Muscle cells are elongated and referred to as muscle fibers. When a stimulus is received at one end of a muscle cell, a wave of excitation is conducted through the entire cell so that all parts contract in harmony. There are three types of muscle cells: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissue (Figure 5). Contractions of the skeletal muscles, which are attached to bones, cause the bones to move. Cardiac muscle contracts to force blood out of the heart and around the body. Smooth muscle can be found in several organs, including the digestive tract, reproductive organs, respiratory tract, and the lining of the bladder. Examples of smooth muscle activity are: contraction of the bladder to force urine out, peristaltic movement to move feces down the digestive system, and contraction of smooth muscle in the trachea and bronchi which decreases the size of the air passageway. Connective tissues are specialized to provide support and hold the body tissues together (I've, they connect). They contain more intracellular substances than the other tissues. A variety of connective tissues exist, including blood, bone and cartilage, adipose (fat), and the fibrous and areolar (loose) connective tissues that gives support to most organs (see Figure 3 and Figure 4). The blood and lymph vessels are immersed in the connective tissue media of the body. The blood-vascular system is a component of connective tissue. In addition to connecting the connective tissue plays a major role in protecting the body from outside invaders. The hematopoietic tissue is a form of connective tissue responsible for the manufacture of all the blood cells and immunological capability. Phagocytes are connective tissue cells and produce antibodies. Thus, if invading organisms or xenobiotics get through the epithelial protective barrier, it is the connective tissue that goes into action to defend against them.


Which is the function of connective tissue?

Just as the name implies, connective tissue connects other tissues together to hold them in place. It appears throughout the body. An example is the loose web-like tissue that holds the skin to the underlying fat and muscle, such as seen when pulling the skin off a piece of chicken.
