Blood, also referred to as vascular tissue, is a type of fluid connective tissue. Blood connective tissue contains three types of cells including erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes. The fibers found in blood connective tissue are soluble proteins that form during clotting and the extracellu...
There are different types of cells found in the loose connective tissue. The types of cells found in loose connective tissue are described below. Collagenous Fibers Collagenous fibers are found throughout the loose connective tissue. It is the most abundant of fibers in loose connective tissue. ...

Connective tissue is one of the four basic types of tissue. This lesson identifies the different types of connective tissues, acellular and...
Connective tissue mast cellsMucosal mast cellsLymphatic sinus mast cellsMarsupialPrevious studies have disclosed three types of mast cell in opossums: connective tissue (CTMC), mucosal (MMC), and lymphatic sinus (LSMC). In contrast to most opossum lymph nodes, the mesenteric lymph node is ...
There are over 200 different cell types in the human body. Each type of cells is specialised to carry out a particular function, either solely, but usually by forming a particular tissue. Different tissues then combine and form specific organs, where the organ is like a factory where every ...

What is Tissue? A cell is the basic unit of life. Various specialized cells in a multicellular organism can be grouped to perform the same function, thus forming a tissue. Therefore, a tissue is a group of specialized cells that perform the same function and have a similar structure. A ...
A tissue is a group of cells, in close proximity, organized to perform one or more specific functions. There are four basic tissue types defined by their morphology and function: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue creates protective boundari...
Although there are many types of cells in the human body, they are organized into four broad categories of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Each of these categories is characterized by specific functions that contribute to the overall health and maintenance of the body. A di...
