Which of the following is NOT a function of connective tissue (CT) in the human body?
A
Transporting nutrients and waste products
B
Protecting organs
C
Providing structural support
D
Generating electrical impulses
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the primary functions of connective tissue (CT) in the human body. Connective tissue is responsible for providing structural support, protecting organs, transporting nutrients and waste products, and connecting other tissues.
Recall that generating electrical impulses is a function primarily associated with nervous tissue, not connective tissue. Nervous tissue contains specialized cells called neurons that transmit electrical signals.
Compare the listed functions in the question to the known roles of connective tissue. Transporting nutrients and waste products, protecting organs, and providing structural support are all well-established functions of connective tissue.
Identify the function that does not align with the roles of connective tissue. Generating electrical impulses is not a function of connective tissue, as this is specific to nervous tissue.
Conclude that the correct answer is 'Generating electrical impulses,' as it is not a function of connective tissue in the human body.
