Answer:

  1.                   The correct matching is

Column I		Column
A.	Fluid connective tissue	1. Subcutaaneous layer
B.	filling of space inside the organs	2. cartilage
C.	Striated muscle	3.Skeletal muscles
D.	Adipose tissue	4. Areolar tissue
E.	Surface of joints	5. Blood
F.	Stratified squamous epithelium	6. Skin

  Blood is a fluid connective tissue as it transports nutrients, hormones and vitamins to the tissue and excretory products from tissues to the liver and kidney. Areolar tissue is the simplest and most widely distributed connective tissue. It acts as a supporting and packing tissue and joins muscles to skin and fills spaces inside organs. Skeletal muscles are also called striated muscles due to the presence of alternate dark and light bands called striations. Adipose tissue is fat reservoir and is present just below the skin and is called subcutaneous layer. Surface of joints is covered by cartilage. It provides support and flexibility to the body parts and smoothens the surface at joints. Stratified squamous epithelium is characterized by the presence of keratin, it lines the skin and covers the external surface.
