Detailed explanation-1: -Connective tissue can further be broken down into three categories: loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, and specialized connective tissue. Loose connective tissue works to hold organs in place and is made up of extracellular matrix and collagenous, elastic and reticular fibers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Connective tissue is classified according to fiber density and orientation. The three types of connective tissue found in the human body are (1) dense regular, (2) dense irregular, and (3) loose irregular (Table 2-1).
Detailed explanation-3: -Connective tissue proper includes: loose connective tissue (also called areolar) and dense (irregular) connective tissue. Specialized connective tissue types include: dense regular connective tissue, cartilage, bone, adipose tissue, blood, and hematopoietic tissue.
Detailed explanation-4: -Like all tissue types, it consists of cells surrounded by a compartment of fluid called the extracellular matrix (ECM). However connective tissue differs from other types in that its cells are loosely, rather than tightly, packed within the ECM.
