Composition of connective tissues:
Connective tissues composed of three main components.
1) Connective tissue cells
2) Connective tissue fibers
3) Intracellular or ground substances.
• Connective tissue fibers are again divided into three types
1) Collagen fibers
2) Elastic fibers
3) Reticular fibers
• Collagen fibers are large fibers made with the protein collagen.
• Elastic fibers are moderate fibers mad with protein elastin.
• Reticulate fibers are small and delicate fibers made of the same chemical composition of collagen.
• Connective tissue fibers provide support to the body.
• Connective tissues are developed from the mesoderm. These tissues are found everywhere in our body.
• Connective tissues are allowed organs to resist stretching and tearing forces.
