Tissues

• Tissue is a group of cells with intracellular components that work together to perform a specific function. Types of tissue present in the human body are epithelial tissue, nervous tissue, connective tissue, and muscle tissue.

Connective tissue:

• Cells suspended in an extracellular matrix make up connective tissue. The matrix is formed of protein fibers like collagen and fibrin in the form of a solid, liquid, or jelly-like ground substance. Connective tissue, as the name implies, supports and connects other tissues and organs in the body.  

• Connective tissue can be found all over your body, supporting organs and blood vessels and connecting epithelial tissues to the muscles beneath. Tendons and ligaments, which connect muscles to bones and bones to each other, contain dense, or fibrous, connective tissue.
