Question 7

Connective Tissue

Answer 7

Provides support for the body and helps to hold all the body parts together. Cells are separated from each other by large amounts of matrix (non cellular material) eg. bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, fat storage tissue, blood

makes up most of the heart, involuntary, striated, allows organs to expand and relax as needed.

Question 16
