Question

Cells of connective tissue is produced by

• A. Fibroblast
• B. Mast cell
• C. Plasma cell
• D. Mesenchymal cells

Answer 1

The correct option is D Mesenchymal cells

Connective tissues arise from an embryonic tissue which is called as the mesenchyme. Mesenchyme arises from the mesoderm. It is composed of stellate or fusiform cells embedded in an extensive, jelly-like ground substance.

Mesenchyme is the stem tissue of all the connective tissues of the body. Mesenchymal cells are embryonic cells, which persist in the adult and are capable of differentiation and proliferation during regeneration. Hence, option D is correct.
