Question 6

Which of the following is a characteristic unique to connective tissue compared to other primary tissue types?

Accepted Answer

Cells are suspended in an abundant extracellular matrix

Question 7

A patient with a torn ligament is told that healing will be slow due to poor blood supply. Which property of connective tissue does this illustrate?
