Connective tissues are based on fibrous proteins, and include bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and adipose tissue (stores fat). Blood and lymph are generally classified as "fluid connective tissue" although they do not have a fixed structure and are normally constrained by epithelial cells, such as those lining the blood vessels.

How would you classify blood?
connective tissue
Why must connective tissue not be too hard?
Connective tissue cannot be too hard because it needs to allow movement. If connective tissue was really hard, you would not be able to move your skin with such ease.
Is serous membrane a connective tissue membrane?
I would have to say yea because like another tissue it a be worn out
How does connective tissue adapt to its role?
Each type of connective tissue has a separate job. Some are protective lining, etc. The best thing you can do would be to read the section in your Anatomy book. It is inevitable.
Would epithelial or connective tissue be best to cushion the kidneys against a blow?
Adipose tissue. However the kidneys are made up of epithelial tissue
How would you classify blood?
connective tissue
Where would you find connective tissue?
it is a tissue that is connective for instance tissue connecting with tissue
Why would areolar tissue be considered the prototype for connective tissue proper?
All of the cell types found in other forms of connective tissue proper can be found in areolar tissue.
Why must connective tissue not be too hard?
Connective tissue cannot be too hard because it needs to allow movement. If connective tissue was really hard, you would not be able to move your skin with such ease.
What type of muscle tissue would you find in the heart?
Cardiac muscle tissue and connective tissue would be found in the heart.
Types of connective tissue include all of the following except blood bone fat or muscle?
Types of connective tissue would include all of these except blood. This is not a type of connective tissue like bone and muscle.
Which connective tissue is membranous and holds your skin to your muscles?
There is no connective tissue that holds muscles to the skin. That would be dysfunctional because you would have very limited motion. There is, however, connective tissue between the muscles and the skin, but they are loose and do not bind one to the other. The tissue between the skin and the muscles is called superficial fasia.
Where would you most likely find a macrophage?
Connective tissue
Do liver cells contain connective tissue?
Connective tissue is made of cells, and cells do not contain other cells (if they are healthy; bacterial infection would be an exception). Cells do contain structural elements that connect them to other cells, but that is not the same thing as connective tissue.
Where in the human long bone would you find the connective tissue thats heavily laced with blood vessels?
On the outer surface of the compact bone is a layer of connective tissue.
What type of tissue stores fat?
Adipose tissue. This is a loose connective tissue comprised of fibroblasts, adipocytes, and immune cells.
Would it be better to grill or braise a pece of meat that contains a great deal of connective tissue?
Braising would be better since the longer lower heat will help break down the connective tissue.
