Connective tissue is one of the four classes of tissue in the body (along with nerve, muscle and epithelial tissue).
The basic function of connective tissue is to connect and bind other tissues together.
Connective tissue differs from the other tissues by the presence of non-cellular material forming a 'ground substance' or 'matrix' which surrounds the cells of the tissue. Usually the cells make up only a small percentage of the volume of the tissue.
The ground substance usually contains a variety of protein fibres, the most important of which is collagen, the most abundant protein in the body. The ground substance itself consists of water, salts and proteoglycans, which are proteins linked to polysaccharides.
Connective tissue works by using a combination of ground substances, fibers, and cells. Connective tissue stores energy, protects organs, and supplies the body with hormones.
