Verified step by step guidance

Understand the primary roles of connective tissue in the body. Connective tissue is responsible for providing support, protection, and insulation, as well as transporting nutrients and waste.

Recognize that connective tissue includes various types such as bone, blood, adipose tissue, and cartilage, each serving specific functions related to support, protection, and transport.

Identify that contraction and movement are primarily functions of muscle tissue, not connective tissue. Muscle tissue is specialized for contraction, enabling movement of body parts.

Differentiate between the roles of different tissue types: connective tissue supports and connects other tissues, while muscle tissue is responsible for movement.

Conclude that 'Contraction and movement' is not a role of connective tissue, as it is a function of muscle tissue, which is distinct from the roles of connective tissue.
