A material made up of fibers forming a framework and support structure for body tissues and organs. Connective tissue surrounds many organs. Cartilage and bone are specialized forms of connective tissue. All connective tissue is derived from mesoderm, the middle germ cell layer in the embryo.

Supporting tissue that surrounds other tissues and organs. Specialized connective tissue includes bone, cartilage, blood, and fat.

Tissue that connects organs or other structures within the body. It supports, attaches and encloses organs, fills the spaces between them, and forms ligaments and tendons.

Tissue that connects and supports the structures of the body

material that surrounds or links different organs or other parts of an organism.

Connective tissue is the material inside your body that supports many of its parts. It is the cellular glue that gives your tissues their shape and helps keep them strong. It also helps some of your t [..]

One of the four basic tissue types within the body. It is a binding and supportive tissue with abundant matrix. Conn's syndrome

A basic type of tissue that includes bone, cartilage, and various fibrous tissues. Connective tissue serves to support and bind tissues together. conoid

A structural material in animals consisting usually of collagen, which is present around or in pieces of meat. It gives a gelatinous smooth texture to dishes that are cooked slowly.

Tissues that provide support and cohesion for the body, e.g. white collagen fibres which form tendons, the basis of bone, and fibrous cartilage: yellow elastic fibreswhich form ligaments, and the basis of elastic cartilage; bone and cartilage. Others form sheets or mesenteries which hold organs in place.

an animal tissue comprising fibres, cells, fluid, blood and lymph vessels, scattered through an amorphous matrix.

Forms cellular structure of most animal tissues including bone, fat, and muscle. The two major proteins are collagen and elastin.

a type of body tissue that supports other tissues and binds them together. Connective tissue provides support in the breast.

See collagen and gristle.

Fibrous tissue with a wide variety of connecting and supporting functions within and between body organs.

A group of tissues in the body that provide internal support and bind other tissues in the body, including bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

Connective tissue is one of four types of traditionally classified tissues, generally involved in structure and support.

Tissue that supports and binds other Tissues. It consists of Connective Tissue Cells embedded in a large amount of Extracellular Matrix.

Tissue that supports and binds other tissues. It consists of CONNECTIVE TISSUE CELLS embedded in a large amount of EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX.

The collagenous tissue between and within muscles that helps bind muscles together. When the tissue attaches muscle to bone, it is called tendons. When the tissue attaches bone to bone, it is called ligaments.

Harold McGee, author of On Food & Cooking describes Connective Tissue as the “physical harness of the muscles,” that helps bind them together and connect them to the bones to be moved. As such Con [..]

Supporting tissue that surrounds other tissues and organs. Specialized connective tissue includes bone, cartilage, blood, and fat.

body tissue that supports and connects internal organs, forms bone and walls of blood vessels, attaches muscle to bone, and replaces tissues of various types following injury.

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 [..]

One of the four basic types of tissue in the body; a material consisting of fibers (e.g., tendons or ligaments) that form a framework to support other body tissues (e.g., muscles).

The type of tissue that supports and binds together other tissues and organs; frequently the site of Kaposi's sarcoma lesion in people with AIDS.

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 m [..]

Tissue that either supports other tissue or joins tissue to tissue, muscle to bone, or bone to bone. It includes cartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments, reticular tissue, areolar tissue, adipose tissue, blood, bone marrow, and lymph.

The “cellular glue” that supports and binds your tissues. Connective tissue gives your tissues their shape, helps keep them strong, and many times allows them to carry out their functions. Examples of specialized connective tissue are bone, cartilage, blood, and fat.
