Match the column (A) with the column (B)
(A) (B)
(a) Fluid connective tissue (i) Subcutaneous layer
(b) Filling of space inside the organs (ii) Cartilage
(c) Striated muscle (iii) Skeletal muscle
(d) Adipose tissue (iv) Areolar tissue
(e) Surface of joints (v) Blood
(f) Stratified squamous epithelium (vi) Skin
a.Blood is a fluid connective tissue made up of cells and extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is made of protein and polysaccharide matrix.
b.Areolar tissue helps in filling space inside the organs. It is found in between the skin and muscles, around blood vessels, and neurons, and also in bone marrow.
c.Skeletal muscle is called striated muscle also. They have a specific pattern of repeating sarcomere. The sarcomere is the basic unit of muscle. Striated muscles are voluntary.
d.The Subcutaneous layer consists of adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that helps in storing fat. It is located below the skin and also acts as an insulator.
e.Cartilage is present on the surface of joints. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue in which a 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.
