Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Connective tissue in the animal and ultimately in the meat comes from tendons, ligaments, and the "glue" that holds muscle cells together. Adipose tissue (A) is fat, collagen, ATP, and lignin (B) do play a role in connective tissue but are not the primary components of it. Elastin (C) is related to reticulin, but is not the primary component of connective tissue in meat. Connective tissue in the animal body includes tendons, ligaments, and the endomysium, which acts as the "glue" that holds muscle fibers together. These tissues ultimately contribute to the composition of meat. Adipose tissue is fat and not classified as connective tissue. Collagen, ATP, and lignin are not typically found in connective tissue. Elastin is a type of connective tissue but is not related to reticulin.
