connective tissue
A type of tissue found in animals whose main function is binding other tissue systems (such as muscle to skin) or organs and consists of the following three elements: cells, fibers and a ground substance (or extracellular matrix)
A tissue

connective tissue
Connective tissue is the substance in the bodies of animals and people which fills in the spaces between organs and connects muscles and bones. Tissue arising chiefly from the embryonic mesoderm that is characterized by a highly vascular matrix and includes collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers, adipose tissue, cartilage, and bone. It forms the supporting and connecting structures of the body. parts of the body such as muscle or fat that exist between or join organs and other body parts. Tissue in the body that maintains the form of the body and its organs and provides cohesion and internal support, including bone, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, adipose tissue, and aponeuroses. Its major components are different kinds of cells and extracellular fibres and ground substance, which varies in consistency from thin gel to rigid structure. Various combinations of these elements make up the different kinds of connective tissue. Connective tissue diseases are either genetic disorders, attacking one of its elements (e.g., Marfan syndrome), or acquired inflammatory or immune-system diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatic fever)
connective tissue
The type of tissue that makes up the supporting structure of the lymph nodes and other organs, in the same way that beams and girders make up the supporting structure of a building
connective tissue
tissue of mesodermal origin consisting of e g collagen fibroblasts and fatty cells; supports organs and fills spaces between them and forms tendons and ligaments
connective tissue
A material made up of cells that form fibers in the framework providing a support structure for other body tissues Cartilage and bone are specialized forms of connective tissue
connective tissue
The supporting or framework tissue of the body, formed of fibrous and ground substance with more or less numerous cells of various kinds; it is derived from the mesenchyme, and this in turn from the mesoderm; the varieties of connective tissue are: areolar or loose; adipose; dense, regular or irregular, white fibrous; elastic; mucous; and lymphoid tissue; cartilage; and bone; the blood and lymph may be regarded as connective tissues the ground substance of which is a liquid
connective tissue
A rather general term for mesodermally-derived tissue that may be more or less specialized Cartilage and bone are specialized connective tissue, as is blood, but the term is probably better reserved for the less specialized tissue that is rich in extracellular matrix and that surrounds other more highly ordered tissues and organs
connective tissue
collagen fibroblasts and fatty cells; supports organs and fills spaces between them and forms tendons and ligaments
connective tissue
tissue which connects other tissues and organs (consists mainly of collagen, elastin and reticular fibers)
connective tissue
The 'glue' that holds muscles, skin & joints together
connective tissue
Connective tissue supports, binds, or separates more specialized tissues and organs of the body; "packing tissue" of the body Types of connective tissue include bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, adipose (fat), areolar and elastic
connective tissue
tissue of mesodermal origin consisting of e
connective tissue
Connective tissue is the glue that holds the body together It can be found throughout the body
connective tissue
A material consisting of fibers that form a framework that provides support structure for body tissues
connective tissue
Material that supports and binds other tissues and parts of the body: includes skin, bone, tendons, ligaments, and interlacing fibrils
connective tissue
The supporting framework of the body and its internal organs
connective tissue
Tissue that connects, supports, or surrounds other tissues and organs
connective tissue
the tissue which binds together and is the support of the various structures of the body
connective tissue
Vertebrate tissue consisting mostly of a matrix composed of cell products in which cells are embedded Connects, supports and surrounds tissues and organs
connective tissue
Forms cellular structure of most animal tissues including bone, fat, and muscle The two major proteins are collagen and elastin
connective tissue
Forms the supportive and connective structures of the body
connective tissue
The supporting tissues of the body, such as tendons, ligaments, bone, and cartilage
connective tissue
is the supporting framework of the body and its internal organs
connective tissue
The most abundant tissue of the body Its functions include support, structure, space, stabilization, and scar formation
connective tissue
Similar to Rolfing Touch pressure is applied at the deepest level an individual is ready to receive It enhances structural integration and aligns the body parts through the manipulation of the fasia (connective tissue)
connective tissue
The part of the body that supports the internal organs and framework
connective tissue
the material that holds together the different structures of the body; tendons and cartilage are made up of connective tissue
connective tissue
the body’s supporting framework of tissue consisting of strands of collagen, elastic fibers between muscles and around muscle groups and blood vessels, and simple cells
