Connective tissues are based on fibrous proteins, and include bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and adipose tissue (stores fat). Blood and lymph are generally classified as "fluid connective tissue" although they do not have a fixed structure and are normally constrained by epithelial cells, such as those lining the blood vessels.
