Connective tissue is one of the four types of tissue in traditional classifications (the others being epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissue). It is largely a category of exclusion rather than one with a precise definition, but all or most tissues in this category are similarly: -Involved in structure and support. -Derived from mesoderm, usually. -Characterized largely by the traits of non-living tissue. Blood, cartilage, and bone are usually considered connective tissue, but because they differ so substantially from the other tissues in this class, the phrase "connective tissue proper" is commonly used to exclude those three. There is also variation in the classification of embryonic connective tissues; on this page they will be treated as a third and separate category. (This is Directly from the link I posted) -Enjoy
What else can I help you with?
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.
Which of these is not a type of connective tissue?
Muscle tissue is not a type of connective tissue. Connective tissue includes types such as adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood.
What are the types of dense connective tissues?
a. loose connective tissue 1. aerolalar connective tissue 2.adipose tissue 3.retigular connective tissue b. Dense connective tissue 1.dense irregular connective tissue 2.dense regular connective tissue 3.elastic connective tissue
What connective tissue has a jelly like matrix?
The connective tissue that has a jelly-like matrix is called "mucous connective tissue." This type of tissue contains fibroblasts and ground substance rich in hyaluronic acid, giving it a gel-like consistency. Mucous connective tissue is found in the umbilical cord of embryos.
Four types of human tissue?
The four main types of human tissue are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines cavities. Connective tissue supports and connects various body parts. Muscle tissue is responsible for movement, while nervous tissue transmits and processes information in the body.
What tissue has good blood supply and an extensive extracellular matrix?
connective tissue
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.
Which kind of tissue is blood?
Connective Tissue, because it's formed from the same embryonic layer as other connective tissues.
Scar tissue is a variety of what?
Connective tissue
Is Nails a connective tissue?
No. They are not connective tissue.
What type connective tissue is springlike and found in the middle walls of arteries?
Elastic Connective Tissue
What connective tissue surrounds the spleen?
The tissue of the spleen is reticular connective tissue.
What is connective tissue and list the major types of connective tissue in human body?
Connective tissue is a type of tissue that provides support and structure to the body. The major types of connective tissue in the human body include loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood. Each type of connective tissue has specific functions and characteristics.
Where would you find connective tissue?
it is a tissue that is connective for instance tissue connecting with tissue
What tissue composes the walls of large arteries?
dense connective tissue, elastic
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.
Tissue that provides support and connects body parts?
The group of tissue with the two types, soft and hard tissue, is connective tissue. Loose connective tissue and fibrous connective tissue hold your body parts together.
