Connective Tissue
Loose Connective Tissue
Dense Connective Tissue
Supporting Connective Tissue
Fluid Connective Tissue
Connective Tissues provide protection for organs, structural support, connection and binding of other tissues, and storage of important minerals. In the case of the blood, connective tissue also provides a method of transportation for oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste as well as serving an immune function.

Hyaline Cartilage
Fibrocartilage
Elastic Cartilage
Adipose Tissue is made of fat cells and is located beneath the skin. They store energy, provide insulation, and cushion organs.
Regular Dense
Irregular Dense
Elastic Dense
Elastic Dense Tissue is made of densely packed fibers and is
found in the trachea, vocal cords, and the walls of some arteries.

PlasmaFunction:
Lymph is clear, watery blood plasma containing oxygen, proteins, glucose,
fats, and white blood cells.
Function:Help to clot the blood in case of bleeding.
Very tough and resistant to compression. Found in disks of the spine.
