what is the function of connective tissue?
to regulate body temperature
to provide support and structure to the body
to store energy in the form of fat
to produce hormones and enzymes
to transport oxygen to the cells
Connective tissue, such as bone and cartilage, provides support and structure to the body. It is not primarily for regulating body temperature (skin and blood vessels play larger roles there), storing energy as fat (adipose tissue), producing hormones and enzymes (glandular tissues), or transporting oxygen (red - blood cells in blood).
