Blood is a fluid connective tissue. It can be divided into its cellular and fluid components. The fluid component of blood is called plasma while the cellular components consist of RBCs and WBCs. RBCs are responsible for oxygen transport while WBCs help protect the body against infections. Muscular tissue can be of three types- cardiac muscles (makes up the heart), skeletal muscles (help in voluntary movement e.g. walking) and smooth muscles (aid in involuntary movement e.g. peristalsis). Nerve fibers pass on information by transmitting electrical signals. Bones are fibrous connective tissue which provide the skeletal framework and protect vital organs of the body.
