Connective tissue fills the spaces between organs. It consists of matrix fibers which are proteins that provide support for the connective tissue. There are three types:
- Collagen fibers, made of the protein collagen, are both tough and flexible.
- Elastic fibers, made of the protein elastin, are strong and stretchable.
- Reticular fibers, made of thin collagen fibers with a glycoprotein coating, branch frequently to form a netlike (reticulate) pattern.
Plus a ground substance may be fluid, gel, or solid, and, except for blood, is secreted by the cells of the connective tissue.

How much of the human body is empty space?
