Comparing Tissues - Epithelium, Muscle, Connective Tissue and Nervous Tissue

The four major functions of the connective tissues are they help to store the fat, secondly, they help the body to fight diseases, third, they transport the substances of the body and lastly, they bind the structures together.

Areolar tissue (loose fibrous connective tissue) are characterized by lots of ground substance (more space, less fibers). It contains collagen and elastic fibers, fibroblasts, and numbers blood vessels. It can be found underlying almost all epithelia (providing nutrients from blood vessels to epithelia) , around blood vessels, esophagus, trachea, etc. It functions to loosely bind epithelia to other tissues, immune function, and allows passage for nerves/blood vessels.

Structure Connective tissues function primarily to support the body and to bind or connect together all types of tissue. This tissue also provide a mechanical framework (the skeleton) which play…

Connective tissue binds and supports body parts, protects, stores fat (for energy), and transports materials. They are made up of different kinds of cells embedded in large amount of non-living material called matrix. Connective tissue contains three kinds of fibers. Collagen fibers provide strength and flexibility. Elastic fibers provide elasticity. Reticular fibers provide a support framework for organs such as the liver and lymph nodes

Tough tissue with many collageous fibers. It is a shock absorber for structures that experience pressure and friction. It is found in discs between vertebrae and knees. The tissue also contains lacunae and has a wavy sturcture.
