Study Notes
Connective Tissue
- The major constituent of connective tissue is collagen.
- Connective tissue is highly vascular, except for cartilage.
- The main purpose of connective tissue is to provide support, connect, and anchor various body parts.
- Connective tissue is most abundant in the skin, bones, and tendons.
- The physical properties of different types of connective tissue depend on the type and arrangement of collagen fibers.
- Connective tissue serves to bind organs together, provide cushioning, and facilitate movement.
- Blood supply varies among connective tissue types, with some being highly vascular while others, like cartilage, are avascular.
