The blood is also a fluid connective tissue but in the fluid form. Justify the statement.

The blood is a fluid connective tissue as

a) All the cells present in the blood are freely floating in extracellular space filled with fluid called plasma. The major component of blood plasma is water.

b) There are no fibers present in the blood. The cells are not bound to one another or with the plasma.

c) The blood is pumped throughout the body which would not have been possible, had it not been in fluid form.
