Answer:
How does connective tissue differ from the other three major tissue types? The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
The connective tissue creates connection between other tissues. There is connective tissue (also sometimes called connective tissue) everywhere in the body, it is the most abundant and widely distributed of all primary tissues and its amount varies substantially from one organ to another.
A.Connective tissue often consists of relatively few cells embedded in an extracellular matrix: This is correct.
The existence of this fibrous matrix is what causes the connective tissue to have the high resistance it has and withstand loads and abuses that no other tissue would support.
B.Connective tissue consists of contractile proteins: this is incorrect.
Muscle tissue is the one that possesses contractile proteins.
C.Connective tissue consists of cells capable of transmitting electrical impulses:this is incorrect.
This corresponds to the nervous tissue
D.There are three types of connective tissue: Incorrect. The connective tissue represents such a heterogeneous group of tissues that classification is difficult
This connective tissue is divided into:
1. Loose / dense connective tissue
2. Mucous tissue
3. Adipose tissue
4. Cartilaginous tissue
5. Bone tissue
6. Blood tissue
7. Lymphatic tissue
E.Connective tissue is found lining body surfaces: Incorrect. This characteristic is of the epithelial tissue.
