    Glossary Connective Tissue

    biological tissue that supports, connects, or separates other tissues

    Connective tissue is a type of biological tissue that supports, connects, or separates different types of tissues and organs in the body. It includes various components such as collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and ground substance, and can be found in forms like bone, blood, and adipose tissue. This tissue plays a crucial role in providing structural integrity, facilitating nutrient transport, and protecting organs.
