The size of a stone crab claw is considered to be the length of the propodus. The propodus is the larger, immovable part of the claw. Legal-sized (harvestable size) claws are 70 mm (2 3/4 inches) or greater in propodus length.
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.
Blood connective tissue contains three types of cells including erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes. The fibers found in blood connective tissue are soluble proteins that form during clotting and the extracellular substance making up blood connective tissue is the liquid blood plasma.
