Connective tissue connects, supports, and binds other tissues or organs together. It also fills spaces and provides strength.

Types of Connective Tissue

• Loose connective tissue: Fills spaces and supports organs (e.g., areolar tissue).
• Dense connective tissue: Provides strength (e.g., tendons and ligaments).
• Fluid connective tissue: Includes blood and lymph.
• Skeletal connective tissue: Includes bones and cartilage for support.
