Blood is called a connective tissue because it carries with it many digestive substances, oxygen from lungs, foods from small intestines and provide it to other tissues and organs of the body.
Connective tissue supports, protects, and binds other tissues together. The collagen fibers that are found between connective tissue cells provide strength and flexibility. Some examples of connective tissues are bone, cartilage, blood, and adipose (fat).Blood is the main connective tissue in the circulatory system, but it's a liquid connective tissue. Blood tissue is in the same family as bone and cartilage, but instead it has a liquid medium that holds it together.The blood's volume is 55% plasma, 44%red blood cells, and 1% platelets and white blood cells.ome examples of connective tissues are bone, cartilage, blood, and adipose (fat).
