What is The Matrix?
The answer is out there, Neo, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.
connective tissue
Connective tissues have an extracellular matrix that gives them their characteristic properties. Blood is a liquid connective tissue that has a fluid matrix.
Collagen is the connective tissue.
Fibers typical of a connective tissue matrix, such as collagen and elastic fibers, are not normally found in blood. Blood primarily consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Fibers typically found in connective tissue are found in tissues like tendons, ligaments, and the extracellular matrix of organs.
There are many types of connective tissues. They all have a matrix of extracellular material and they all have cells that excrete the matrix. Tendons and ligaments are dense connective tissues, loose connective tissue tends to be found around organs. Blood and bone are also considered connective tissues.
The connective tissue that has a jelly-like matrix is called "mucous connective tissue." This type of tissue contains fibroblasts and ground substance rich in hyaluronic acid, giving it a gel-like consistency. Mucous connective tissue is found in the umbilical cord of embryos.

The bones have the largest amount of minerals, calcium and phosphorus, in its extracellular matrix. Teeth, which are specialized bone, have additional enamel that makes them even stronger. That answer has nothing to do with the question asked....but the answer is connective tissue.
Blood.
Collagen is the connective tissue.
Fibers typical of a connective tissue matrix, such as collagen and elastic fibers, are not normally found in blood. Blood primarily consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Fibers typically found in connective tissue are found in tissues like tendons, ligaments, and the extracellular matrix of organs.
What defines a connective tissue is living cells surrounded by a non-living extracellular matrix. The red and white blood cells are the living cells and the plasma they float in is the non-living extracellular matrix therefore blood is classified as a connective tissue.
All connective tissue!
The cells of a connective tissue are loosely scattered in a matrix. The matrix can be a fluid, jelly like, dense or rigid. The nature of matrix depends on the function a connective tissue serves.as Blood is composed of blood cells, platelets and plasma. Blood plays an important role in transportation of various substances in the body. It also helps in osmoregulation and temperature control.so blood is called connective tissue
Blood is considered connective tissue because it is cells (formed elements) surrounded by a non-living matrix (plasma).
