What are the two main components of blood? Why is blood considered a type of connective tissue?
(N/A) The two main components of blood are plasma and blood cells (corpuscles).
Blood is considered a type of connective tissue because it consists of a fluid matrix,known as plasma,in which various blood cells are suspended. Connective tissues are defined by having cells embedded in an extracellular matrix,and blood fits this definition as the plasma acts as the matrix connecting different parts of the body by transporting nutrients,gases,and waste products.
