Why are blood, bone and cartilage called connective tissue?
Connective tissue provides the structural framework and support to different organ forming tissue. Blood is a fluid or vascular connective tissue, which connects various organs and transports substances from one place to another.
Bone is a solid, rigid and strong skeletal connective tissue, which support the body and help in locomotion. Cartilage is also a skeletal connective tissue, not as rigid bone but piable and resist comparission. It plays a role in support and protection and present in tip of nose, outer ear joints etc.
