connective tissue can do a large set of things here i will tell a few of them.
Dense irregular connective tissue - They can protect organs from injury via their toughness and provide protective covering.
blood- transport of various molecules, gases, hormones etc.
Dense regular connective tissue - they bind bones together and also muscles to bones and helps in relieving stretch force from muscles to bone and vice-versa.
Major functions of connective tissue include: 1) binding and supporting, 2) protecting, 3) insulating, 4) storing reserve fuel, and 5) transporting substances within the body. Connective tissues can have various levels of vascularity. Cartilage is avascular, while dense connective tissue is poorly vascularized.
1 you run out of fuel 2 it takes a long time 3 it’s hard to get back 4 the conditions are constantly changing making it harder to predict what could happen. Look at Apollo 12 as a example
They are not violent killers because they need their host to stay alive for their benefit And if the host dies the parasite wont have a host so they try to keep it alive for as long as possible.
