Fluid connective tissue is a type of connective tissue that contains a liquid extracellular matrix. The main types of fluid connective tissue in the human body are blood and lymph.

Blood

Blood is a specialized fluid connective tissue that circulates throughout the body, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to cells and removing waste products. It is composed of a liquid matrix called plasma, in which various formed elements are suspended, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These components play essential roles in oxygen transport, immune response, and blood clotting.

Lymph

Lymph is another type of fluid connective tissue that is derived from blood plasma. It is formed in the interstitial spaces of tissues and drains into lymphatic vessels. Lymph contains white blood cells and is a key component of the immune system, as it helps to remove toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials from the body.
