MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Connective tissues are made up of a matrix consisting of living cells and a non-living substance, called the ground substance. The ground substance is made of an organic substance (usually a protein) and an inorganic substance (usually a mineral or water). The principal cell of connective tissues is the fibroblast.

Detailed explanation-2: -Connective tissue: provides support and points of attachment or connections. Includes bone, cartilage, adipose or fat tissue, blood, and loose connective tissue. All types of connective tissue consist of cells dispersed in a non-cellular matrix.

Detailed explanation-3: -The extracellular matrix helps cells attach to, and communicate with, nearby cells, and plays an important role in cell growth, cell movement, and other cell functions. The extracellular matrix is also involved in repairing damaged tissue.
