Connective Tissue

Loose Connective Tissue

Dense Connective Tissue

Supporting Connective Tissue

Fluid Connective Tissue

Connective Tissues provide protection for organs, structural support, connection and binding of other tissues, and storage of important minerals. In the case of the blood, connective tissue also provides a method of transportation for oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste as well as serving an immune function.

Hyaline Cartilage

Fibrocartilage

Elastic Cartilage

Adipose Tissue is made of fat cells and is located beneath the skin. They store energy, provide insulation, and cushion organs.

Regular Dense

Irregular Dense

Elastic Dense

Elastic Dense Tissue is made of densely packed fibers and is

found in the trachea, vocal cords, and the walls of some arteries.

PlasmaFunction:

Lymph is clear, watery blood plasma containing oxygen, proteins, glucose,

fats, and white blood cells.

Function:Help to clot the blood in case of bleeding.

Very tough and resistant to compression. Found in disks of the spine.
