As its name implies, connective tissue connects,

holds, and supports other body tissues.


The cells of connective tissue are characteristically
separated from one another by large amounts of
intercellular material.
This extracellular material is that gives connective
tissue its strenght.
Parts of the connective tissue:
Cells
Extracellular matrix (ECM)
Two types of cells are present in the
connective tissue
