Which is the function of connective tissue?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Connective tissue is the material between the cells of the body that gives tissues form and strength. This "cellular glue" is also involved in delivering nutrients to the tissue, and in the special functioning of certain tissues. Connective tissue surrounds many organs. Cartilage, blood and bone are specialized forms of connective tissue.

Answer 3

The major functions of connective tissue are: support, connecting one tissue to another tissue, enclosing and separates spaces, transporting (blood), storing (fat in bone), insulating layer (adipose), protection and provides structural frame work for the body.

Answer 4

These are the functions of connective tissues:

1. Mechanical support and protection of soft tissues

Connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments connect muscle to attach to the tubercle of the bone. The connective tissues fill in spaces between organs or hold the structures together.

2. Physiology support

Connective tissues can help with the transport of nutrients, metabolites, and signaling factors.

3. Storing energy in the form of fat

4. Defense against infection

Connective tissues such as macrophages and leukocytes help defend the body against infections.

5. Repair of injuries

The fibroblasts will migrate to damaged tissues and deposit abundant new collagen fibres there to form scar tissues.

Answer 5

To connect bones to bones, muscles to muscles, or bones to muscles.

Answer 6

binding and support, protection, insulation, transporation

Answer 7

structure, defensive, metabolic

Answer 8

forming connective tissues
