Rich supply of blood vessels, composed of many types of cells and has a great deal of noncellular, nonliving material (matrix) between the cells of connective tissue.

What are the 3 major groups of connective tissue?

Epithelial, muscle, and nervous. Disagree- the 3 subgroups are: loose, dense, and connective tissue with special properties. Subgroups within dense are: dense irregular, in which the extracellular fibers are interwoven in disordered fashion, and dense irregular, in which the extracellular fibers are in parallel bundles. Subgroups in the special properties connective tissue are named to indicate the identifying feature, such as mucous connective tissue, elastic connective tissue or reticular connective tissue.


Name the 3 types of fibers in areolar connective tissue?

the three basic types of fibers that are found in connective tissue are collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers


Draw a flow chart showing the various types of connective tissue?

I'm unable to draw a flow chart in text format. Connective tissue includes loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue (regular and irregular), specialized connective tissue (cartilage, bone, blood), and adipose tissue. Each type has specific functions and characteristics, forming the structural framework of organs and supporting various body structures.


Is collagen and connective tissue the same?

Technically they are the same. Fibrous connective tissue is basically any kind of connective tissue different than adipose and areolar. The fibrous connective tissue has more fibroblast and collagen fiber (a characteristic of dense connective tissue) but no much of elastic fibers (which is the histological difference with cartilage). Of course, we have to exclude blood, lymph and bones from the fibrous tissues because they are specialized connective tissue and have totally different characteristics than dense and loose connective tissue.


What are the three primary tissue types?

The three primary tissue types are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, and muscle tissue. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, lines cavities, and forms glands. Connective tissue supports, protects, and binds together different tissues and organs. Muscle tissue is responsible for movement and generating force in the body.

What is the tissue group with widely scattered cells?

Connective tissue is the tissue group with widely scattered cells. In connective tissue, cells are separated by an extracellular matrix composed of fibers and ground substance. Examples of connective tissue include loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, and adipose tissue.

Connective Tissue, because it's formed from the same embryonic layer as other connective tissues.
