a.Blood is a fluid connective tissue made up of cells and extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is made of protein, polysaccharide matrix.
b.Areolar tissue helps in filling of space inside the organs. It is found in between skin and muscles, around blood vessels, neurons and also in bone marrow.
c.Skeletal muscle is called as striated muscle also. They have a specific pattern of repeating sarcomere. Sarcomere is the basic unit of muscle. Striated muscle are voluntary in nature.
d.The Subcutaneous layer consists of adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue which helps in storing fat. It is located below the skin and also act as an insulator.
e.Cartilage is present on the surface of joints. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue in which solid matrix is made of protein and sugars. It makes the joint surface smooth.
f.Skin consists of Stratified squamous epithelium. These cells are thin and flat and form a delicate lining. It helps in protecting the body.
