Question:
Some of the properties of tissues are not the constituents of their cells. Give three examples to support the statement.
Solution:
Blood is a connective tissue that is made up of RBCs, WBCs and Platelets. It functions as a nutrient transporter inside the body whereas the blood cells don not play this
function.
Bone is a specialized connective tissue which functions as mechanical support that is made up of osteocytes. These osteocytes do not provide mechanical support.
Dry skin is made up of epithelial cells. Epithelial tissues will function as a protection from chemical and mechanical stress whereas epithelial cells do not play this role
