    Plasma forms 55% of blood and contains mostly water along with proteins and salts. Corpuscles, including red blood cells containing hemoglobin, white blood cells that act as soldiers, and blood platelets involved in clotting, form the remaining 45% of blood. Ligaments connect bones and contain little matrix but are elastic with strength, while tendons connect muscles to bones and are strong but less flexible. Hyaline cartilage is elastic and less hard than bone, occurring in areas like the nose, ears, trachea and larynx where flexibility is required.

    Connective Tissue

    Blood
    Plasma and Corpuscles
    Plasma
    It forms 55% part of blood. It constitutes of 90-91% of water, 7% of protein (Albumin,
    fibrinogen, globulin), 0.9% of inorganic salt etc.

    Corpuscles
    Forms 45% part of blood
    .
    RBCs (erthyrocytes)
    contain red coloured respiratory pigment called haemoglobin that helps in transportation of oxygen.
    • WBCs (Leucocytes)
    → They are also called as ‘Soldiers of the body’.

    Blood platelets (Thrombocytes)


    → They are involved in clotting of blood.
    Bone
    Ligaments and Tendons
     Ligaments:

    • This tissue is very elastic.


    • It has considerable strength.
    • Ligaments contain very little matrix and connect bones with bones.

    Tendons:
    • Tendons are fibrous tissue with great strength but limited flexibility
     Tendons connect muscles to bones
    Hyaline Cartilage

    • This tissue is elastic, less harder as compared to bones.


    • The solid matrix is composed of proteins and sugars
    • It occurs in the nose tip, outer ear, trachea & larynx.
    It provides flexibility
