Specialized connective tissues include cartilage, bone and adipose tissue. Connective tissues supply support, strength, structure, and nutrient storage to the body, and provide a conducting medium for the movement of cells and nutrients.doi:10.1002/9781118284551.ch3Fred E. Hossler...
Connective tissue cells refer to the cells that are found in the subendothelial connective tissue of the intima and in the adventitia, where they surround blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. AI generated definition based on: Haschek and Rousseaux's Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology (Third Editio...
Connective tissue is one of the body's four tissue types. It plays essential, varying roles by holding together, protecting, supporting, and joining organs to tissues
Connective tissue is the most abundant type of tissue in the body. It serves to connect and support other tissues and also has regulatory and immunologic functions. Connective tissue consists of cells, mainly fibroblasts, and an extracellular matrix (ECM). The specific composition of the ECM deter...
In addition to fibroblasts, the cell population is heterogeneous, including both indigenous and emigrant connective tissue cells (see Fig. 28.1). The loose connective tissue underlying the epithelium in the gastrointestinal tract is a good example of this heterogeneity (Fig. 32.1A), with lymphocytes...
Overview of Connective Tissue Connective tissue is a type of tissue whose cells are scattered within an extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is the primary structural element of connective tissue. It contributes to numerous body functions, including support, structure, and attachment. Specialized...

Under a microscope, adipose tissue cells appear empty due to the extraction of fat during the processing of the material for viewing, as seen in Figure 5. The thin lines in the image are the cell membranes, and the nuclei are the small, black dots at the edges of the cells....
Metabolic engineeringof connective tissue cells such as fibroblasts andsmooth muscle cellsvia addition of ascorbic acid to the culture medium has been shown to promote the production of large quantities of extracellular matrix, such that the cells produce their own scaffolding material. This is an eff...
