Study Notes
Types of Connective Tissue
- Yellow elastic fibers contain elastin, a protein that is less strong than collagen but more elastic.
Characteristics of Connective Tissue
- All types of connective tissue have three components: specialized cells, ground substance, and protein fibers.
Ground Substance
- The ground substance is a non-cellular material that separates the cells in connective tissue.
Examples of Connective Tissue
- Dense fibrous connective tissue is found in tendons, which connect muscles to bones.
- Dense fibrous connective tissue is also found in ligaments, which connect bones to other bones at joints.
Blood as a Connective Tissue
- Blood is a type of fluid connective tissue.
