What Is the Main Function of Connective Tissue?

Connective tissue is composed of cells and a large number of interstitial cells. The interstitial tissue of connective tissue includes liquid, colloidal or solid matrix, filamentous fibers, and tissue fluid that is constantly renewed. The cells are scattered in the intercellular substance, and the distribution is non-polar. The connective tissue in the broad sense includes blood, lymph, soft inherent connective tissue and stronger cartilage and bone; generally speaking, connective tissue refers only to inherent connective tissue. Connective tissues are widely distributed throughout the body and have multiple functions such as connection, support, nutrition, and protection.

Can be divided into: loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, adipose tissue, reticular connective tissue, cartilage, bone and blood.

Loose connective tissue exists widely among organs, tissues, and even cells. Its structure is characterized by many substrates, few fibers, loose structure and honeycomb structure, so it is also called honeycomb structure. The organization has multiple functions such as connection, support, defense, transmission of nutrients and metabolites.

(1) Cells: There are many types of cells in loose connective tissue, which are scattered. Some of these are often more constant cells, such as fibroblasts, adipocytes, and undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. Others are migratory or variable cells, such as macrophages, plasma cells, mast cells, leukocytes exuding from blood, etc.

Fibroblasts are the main cellular components of loose connective tissues, with large cell bodies, multiple protrusions, weak basophilic cytoplasm, large nuclei, and loose chromatin. Under the electron microscope, there are abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum, free ribosomes, and

The ground substance is a gelatinous substance composed of biological macromolecules, which has a certain viscosity. The macromolecular substances that make up the matrix include

Connective tissue consists of a large number of interstitial cells and interspersed cells. There are many kinds of cells, few in number, scattered and non-polar. The intercellular substance includes matrix, fibers, and interstitial fluid. The matrix is an amorphous colloid-like substance, and the fibers are filament-like and embedded in the matrix.

Connective tissue is widely distributed and diverse in form. Such as fibrous tendons, ligaments, fascia; fluid blood; solid cartilage and bone. In the body, connective tissue mainly supports various functions such as support, connection, nutrition, and protection.
