GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Connective tissue protein promotes immune responses that fight bacterial infections. A connective tissue protein known to support the framework of organs also encourages immune responses that fight bacterial infections, while restraining responses that can be deadly in the condition called sepsis, a new study finds.

Detailed explanation-2: -The immune response to connective tissue components of basement membrane (type IV collagen and laminin) and to interstitial collagen (type I) has been examined in human and murine systems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tissue that supports, protects, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body. Connective tissue also stores fat, helps move nutrients and other substances between tissues and organs, and helps repair damaged tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -Connective tissue is made up of cells and extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is made up of fibres in a protein and polysaccharide matrix, secreted and organised by cells in the extracellular matrix.
