Question

Assertion: Connective tissue inside the brain is essential for conduction of nerve impulse.
Reason: Connective tissue holds together the nerve cells of the brain.
A) Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
B) Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.
C) Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.
D) Both assertion and reason are incorrect.

Answer 1

Hint: Connective tissue is a type of tissue which connects various types of cells with each other.
Connective tissue consists of cells that are surrounded by the fluid matrix known as extracellular fluid.
Different types of connective tissue is.found in different types of organs.

Complete answer:
Connective tissue is one of the four basic types of animal tissue found in various animal and human species.
It normally develops from the mesoderm.
Connective tissue is found in between many other tissues in the whole body, including the nervous system.
In the central nervous system, the three outer membranes known as meninges that cover the brain and spinal cord are made up of connective tissue.
All connective tissue consists of three main components:
1. fibers
A.Elastic
B.collagenous fibers
2. Ground substance and cells.
Connective tissue consists of differently shaped cells present
in an extracellular material called matrix.
It joins one tissue to another in the organs
Connective tissue is also found inside the central nervous system which includes the brain and spinal cord.
Primary role is to provide support and protection and thus, have no function in the conduction of nerve impulse. Neuroglial cells present in the brain and spinal cord are very helpful because they hold together the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord and support them.

So, the correct option is option D. Bother assertion and reason are incorrect.

Note:
Connective tissue plays various roles in our body depending upon the type of cells.
Functions are as follows:
1.Binding and supporting
2.Protecting
