Question

Examples of specialised connective tissue include
A. Bone
B. Cartilage
C. Both (A) and (B)
D. Muscle

Answer 1

Hint:- Connective tissues are those tissues which are used for the connection of muscle to the bone. They are helpful to move the bones. The connective tissues are the specialised cells which have strong strength in them. Transportation of fluids and nutrients takes place through these specialized connective tissue cells.

Complete answer:
Specialized connective tissues are the tendons, ligaments, bone, cartilage, blood and adipose tissue. Tendons and ligaments are used to join the muscle to the bone and bone to bone respectively. They help in providing the movements at those joints as well provide nutrients and various body fluids to those parts. Bones provide the structural framework to the body and are composed of osteocytes and osteoblasts. They secrete the components which are responsible for the formation of the bones. The cartilage consists of the chondrocytes and chondroblasts which help in the secretion of the extracellular matrix material (ECM). They help in the formation of the cartilage.
Muscle is composed of the bundle of the fibrous tissue which can contract and relax and help in the movement of the bones around. They also help in maintaining the position of the body parts. They also play the role of adhering the internal organs and help them in keeping them in a position.

So, the correct answer is option (C).

Note:- The specialized tissue cells present in the body of the organism helps in killing the microorganism that enters our body, hence providing a defence system to the body. They also help in the transportation of the body fluids filled with the nutrients and chemical messengers.
