Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Connective tissues are abundant and a widely distributed tissue type among the other tissue classes. It plays an important role in connection and for separation of tissues and organs. It is a primary tissue because it connects the bones and cartilage for shape and movement of organisms. It fills the spaces between the tissue and organ to provide structural and metabolic support. It consists of fibrous tissue, adipose tissue, bone, blood, and cartilage for various functions such as movement, binding of organs, support, protection (physical and immune), transport, storage, and heat production.
