The best vitamins for tissue repair are zinc, vitamin C and Vitamin A.
The vitamin that is important for growth and repair of tissues is Vitamin C which is the synthesis of connective tissue and particularly collagen.
Foods that help repair connective tissue are root vegetables and garlic, whole grains, olive oil, beans and lentils, fruit, cruciferous vegetables, cold water fish and seeds and nuts.
Blood is a connective tissue that connects all the systems of the body and transports the needed oxygen, wastes and nutrients through the body.
Blood is considered a connective tissue for two basic reasons: (1) embryologically, it has the same origin (mesodermal) as do the other connective tissue types and (2) blood connects the body systems together bringing the needed oxygen, nutrients, hormones and other signaling molecules, and removing the wastes.
There are 4 basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.
Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together (bone, blood, and lymph tissues).
Epithelial tissue provides a covering (skin, the linings of the various passages inside the body).
Blood is an unusual connective tissue because it is normally in liquid form.
It consists of a fluid called plasma and cells (formed elements) that are suspended in the plasma.
Unlike traditional connective tissues like bone or cartilage, blood has a liquid matrix called plasma.
Plasma is composed of water, electrolytes, hormones, nutrients, waste products, and various proteins.
The 4 types of connective tissue are.
Blood.
Bone.
Cartilage.
Connective proper.
Connective tissues bind structures together, form a framework and support for organs and the body as a whole, store fat, transport substances, protect against disease, and help repair tissue damage.
They occur throughout the body.
Bone is the hardest connective tissue. It provides protection to internal organs and supports the body.
Bone's rigid extracellular matrix contains mostly collagen fibers embedded in a mineralized ground substance containing hydroxyapatite, a form of calcium phosphate.
