Question

Which of the following tissue includes blood and adipose tissue?
(a)Nervous tissue
(b)Muscle tissue
(c)Epithelial tissue
(d)Connective tissue

Answer 1

Hint: Blood and adipose tissue both belong to a category of tissue that is mesodermal in origin and is sully present below the skin and surroundings of organs. It helps in storage, attachment, transport, etc.

Complete answer:
Blood and adipose tissue both belong to connective tissue. Blood is a specialized type of connective tissue, the matrix has no fibers and is not secreted by the constituent cells. Adipose tissue is a loose type of connective tissue and helps in the storage of fats.

Additional Information:
-Connective tissue is the basic type of animal tissue which includes the nervous system.
-The three outer membranes of the brain and spinal cord are made up of connective tissue.
-Connective tissue is of two main types: loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue.
-Loose connective tissue body has less amount of fibrous tissue and more ground tissue.
-The dense connective tissue has more fibrous tissue and less ground tissue.
-Blood is a connective tissue that transports nutrients from one body part to the other.
-Blood is composed of blood plasma which constitutes 55% of the blood having proteins, hormones, minerals, etc.
-There are various types of blood cells also present including red blood cells and white blood cells.
-Adipose tissues are also known as fat, which is made up of adipocytes.
-They help in the storage of energy and act as an insulator.

So, the correct answer is, ‘Connective tissue.’

Note: The term connective tissue was derived by Johannes Peter Mullis in 1830 in German. The word blood was derived from the Greek word haima, meaning blood. Adipose tissue was first observed in 1551 by the Swiss naturalist Conrad Gessner. There are four basic types of animal tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.
