GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Flexible tissue is not a type of connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skin is made up of connective tissue that consists of cellular components and an extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix contains two main types of macromolecules: polysaccharide glycosaminoglycans and collagens.

Detailed explanation-3: -Elastic tissues such as the skin require a strong and resilient structural framework. This framework is called the extracellular matrix, or connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four classes of connective tissues: BLOOD, BONES, CARTILAGE and CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER. They are further subdivided into subclasses and types: I want you to be able to identify all the different types of Connective tissues as well as learn their locations in the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
