Video transcript

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Which of the following is an example of a connective tissue. Is it answer choice? A adipose answer choice B nerves, answer choice C muscles or answer choice D all of the above. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer, choices is an example of a connective tissue. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about the different types of connective tissue to determine which of the following answer. Choices contains a type of connective tissue. And we know that there are three main types of connective tissue which includes loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue as well as adipose tissue. And in addition to the three main types of connective tissue, specialized connective tissues exist which includes bone blood and cartilage. So looking at our answer choices, we can see answer choice. A which says adipose is a type of connective tissue. So answer choice, A adipose is the correct answer and answer choices B and C are both incorrect since nerves and muscles are not types of connective tissue. So answer choice. A is the only correct answer choice. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
