Question

Blood is not a tissue
Options
A True
B False
Correct Answer
C
D
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

This statement is false. Blood is indeed classified as a tissue, specifically a type of connective tissue. It fits the definition of a tissue because it is a group of similar cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets) that work together to perform specific functions (transport, immunity, etc.), and it has an extracellular matrix (the plasma).

Hint

Is blood just a liquid, or does it contain specialized cells suspended in a fluid matrix?
