What is the general characteristic of a connective tissue?

Answer 1

Connective tissues function primarily to support the body or connect together all type of tissue. The tissue also provides a mechanical framework. Connective tissue is characterized by the large amounts of intercellular substance.

Answer 2

have mesenchyme as their common tissue of origin, cells are separated by nonliving extracellular matrix (ground substance and fibers), different degrees of vascularity (from avascular to a very rich blood supply)

Answer 3

Three primary characteristics of connective tissue have been described as:

• Have a rich supply of blood vessels.
• Composed of many types of cells.
• Great deal of noncellular, nonliving material (matrix) between the cells of connective tissue.

General characteristics of connective tissue : Inter-cellular material predominates in most connective tissues and determines their physical characteristics: consist of fluid , gel or solid matrix , with or without fibers ( collage nous , reticular and elastic ) . It connects muscles to muscles , muscles to bones and bone to bones.

It is characterized by the presence of a nonliving, extracellular matrix produced and secreted by the cells; it varies in amount and consistency.

Answer 5

There are many different types of connective tissue, each with their own specific characteristics, however, three general characteristics are:

• Connective tissue is well vascularized (has a good supply of veins and arteries and therefore good supply of oxygen and nutrients).
• They recover from injury well due to being able to reproduce quickly.
• They have a lot of space between cells (extracellular matrix).

Answer 6

It is characterized by the presence of a nonliving, extracellular matrix produced and secreted by the cells; it varies in amount and consistency.

Answer 7

Presence of cells, fibres and intercellular substance. And being penetrated by nerves, lymphatics and blood vessels.
