Collagen is the connective tissue.
Connective tissues have an extracellular matrix that gives them their characteristic properties. Blood is a liquid connective tissue that has a fluid matrix.
Connective tissue possesses an abundant extracellular matrix. This matrix is made up of fibers, ground substance, and cells, providing structural support and connecting different tissues and organs in the body. Examples include bone, cartilage, and tendon.
The Extracellular Matrix
connective tissue
Yes, connective tissue contains extracellular matrix, which is a non-living material that provides structural support and connects cells within the tissue.
Yes, connective tissue is living tissue made up of cells and extracellular matrix. The cells in connective tissue help to maintain and repair the tissue, while the extracellular matrix provides structural support.
Fibroblasts produce extracellular matrix for various connective tissue types, including loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, and specialized connective tissues like tendons and ligaments. The extracellular matrix produced by fibroblasts provides structural support, flexibility, and resilience to these connective tissues.

What defines a connective tissue is living cells surrounded by a non-living extracellular matrix. The red and white blood cells are the living cells and the plasma they float in is the non-living extracellular matrix therefore blood is classified as a connective tissue.
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.
The bones have the largest amount of minerals, calcium and phosphorus, in its extracellular matrix. Teeth, which are specialized bone, have additional enamel that makes them even stronger. That answer has nothing to do with the question asked....but the answer is connective tissue.
