  1. loosly packed to allow for movement, only connective tissue related to blood transport is vascular IE)circulatory  others are not considered that ie) skin, ligaments, etc..  study on there.


  2. Loosely packed.  Connective tissue is defined as living cells suspended or embedded in a non-living matrix.  In comparison to the other basic tissues, the cells are loosely arranged.  Blood could be considered somewhat packed but when you allow blood to separate in a tube, you will see a considerable amount of "matrix" with the cells settled in the bottom of the tube.
