Solution:

Blood is a specialized fluid connective tissue as it lacks fibres. Neuroglial cells are supporting cells of nervous system and forms more than half of total cells in this system. Osteocytes and Chondrocytes are present in spaces known as lacunae and these are present in the matrix. Lacunae of osteocytes also show presence of canaliculi which is absent in lacunae of chondrocytes. Striated muscle bundles are not in parallel fashion. Biceps are skeletal muscles and hence show striations and are voluntary in function.
