Detailed explanation-1: -Adipose tissue, or fat tissue, is considered a connective tissue even though it does not have fibroblasts or a real matrix and only has a few fibers. Adipose tissue is made up of cells called adipocytes that collect and store fat in the form of triglycerides, for energy metabolism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph is also a fluid connective tissue similar to blood except it lacks blood proteins, red blood cells, platelets, and plasma proteins.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fibroblasts are characteristic of connective tissue. The main function of these cells is to produce and secrete collagen, which is a major component of the connective tissue matrix. Fibroblasts are not found in epithelial, muscle, nor nervous tissue.
