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.
Connective tissues have an extracellular matrix that gives them their characteristic properties. Blood is a liquid connective tissue that has a fluid matrix.
One might be tempted to say it is a liquid tissue, but it isn't the only kind of liquid tissue. Semen is another example of a liquid tissue. Blood is unique in the sence it is a tissue which carries oxygen and nutrients to other tissues and removes waste material. FYI: a "tissue" is defined as a mass of cells disperced in a non-living matrix. In blood the matrix is the blood plasma. In bone, it is the mineral calcium triphosphate.
Blood is the tissue that has a fluid matrix with no protein fibers. It is composed of plasma, which is a liquid extracellular matrix that contains water, ions, proteins, and other substances.
Blood.
connective tissue
Plasma is a type of extracellular matrix found in the blood. It is a fluid component of blood that carries various constituents such as water, ions, proteins, and waste products. Interstitial matrix refers to the extracellular matrix found in between cells of various tissues, providing structural support and communication.
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.
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.
Blood is considered connective tissue because it is cells (formed elements) surrounded by a non-living matrix (plasma).
False. Blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma, a fluid intercellular matrix; not vascular tissue.
