Connective tissue, as it names suggests, has a 'connective' function. It supports and binds tissues in the body. There are three types of connective tissue.

1. Loose - most common. Collagen, elastic, reticular fibres.

2. Dense (or fibrous) - tendons and ligaments

3. Specialised - e.g. adipose (fat) tissue is a type of specialised loose connective tissue.
