Study Notes
Animal Tissue Types
- The four primary types of animal tissue are epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous.
Connective Tissue Development
- Most connective tissue develops from the mesoderm, one of the three primary germ layers in the embryo.
Connective Tissue Components
- Most types of connective tissue consist of three main components:
- Specialized cells
- Extracellular matrix (ECM)
- Ground substance
Specialized Fluid Connective Tissues
- Two types of tissue are classed as specialized fluid connective tissues:
- Blood
- Lymph
Connective Tissue Term
- The term "connective tissue" was introduced by Karl von Baer, a German biologist and embryologist, in the early 19th century.
