Concept explainers
Which of the following is not a function of connective tissues?
- fill spaces
- provide support
- bind structures together
- body movement
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Introduction :
The connective tissue is abundantly distributed in the body. The fibers, ground substance, and cells together constitute the connective tissue. The extracellular matrix consists of fibers and ground substance. The major components of connective tissue vary from one organ to another organ. The connective tissue is divided into specialized and soft connective tissue. The connective tissue function is to provide insulation, protection, binding, storage of reserve fuel and transporting substances.
Answer to Problem 1PL
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (d) body movement.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (d) body movements. The connective tissue provides support, fills spaces and binds the structure together. The muscle tissue is involved in body movements. The stimulus allows muscle tissue to contract and allow body movement. So, the correct answer is an option (d).
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (a) fills spaces. The space between different tissues and organs is filled with connective tissue. The space between fibers of the muscle, around lymph and blood vessels, are filled with connective tissue. This filled space provides metabolic and structural support to various organs and tissues. The connective tissue is divided into specialized and soft connective tissue.
Option (b) provides support. The framework and support for the body are provided by connective tissue. For example- cartilage and bone, both provide strength and support to the body. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (c) binds structures together. The connective tissue binds the structure together. For example- loose connective tissue connects epithelial tissue to underlying tissues. The connective tissue also holds organs at their place. So, this is an incorrect option.
