Connective tissues connect and provide support to various structure they also help in transportation of certain minerals and some Connective tissues also have storage as a function (in adipose tissue they have fat depots or a food reserve for fats).
There are many categories of Connective tissue such as loose Connective tissues, dense Connective tissues and specialised Connective tissue.

Some of its types I would explain is; Adipose tissue: It is a fat storage Connective tissue which consist of several spherical or oval adipose cells (fat cells or adipocytes) where each cell contain fat globules. They contain both types of fat: White fat (they contain large adipose tissue having a single large fat globule) and Brown fat (mulitlocular where they contain small fat globules)
They are located in the subcutaneous tissue, around the heart, eyeballs, mesentries and omenta, where fat is stored.
They function in the storage of fat prevent heat loss in the body and function as a shock absorbing cushion around the eyeballs and kidneys.

DavidOtunga: Because of the 5000 character limit it is suppressing, limiting and not allowing to post a longer answer. So ask in categories instead of one whole question.
