Study Notes
Connective Tissue
- Connective tissue is mainly composed of an extracellular matrix and tissue fluid.
- Irregularly arranged collagenous and elastic fibers are characteristic of dense irregular connective tissue.
- Most connective tissues originate from the mesoderm, one of the three primary germ layers.
- Mesechyme is the type of connective tissue that gives rise to bone, cartilage, tendon, and blood cells.
- Dense regular connective tissue is characterized by regularly arranged collagenous and elastic fibers.
- Connective tissue is broadly classified into embryonic and adult groups, with various subgroups within each.
