Connective Tissue

Connective tissue serves to connect and support various tissues in the body, providing mechanical support, nutrient exchange, energy storage, and defense against pathogens. It is composed of collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers, each contributing to the tissue's flexibility and functionality. Reticular connective tissue specifically supports organs like the liver and spleen and aids in filtering microbes in lymph nodes.

1. CONNECTIVE TISSUE
2. Connective Tissue • These tissues connect and support other
tissues of the body • Functions : • Mechanical support • Medium
for exchange of nutrients & waste products • Energy store and
thermal insulation • Defensive functions a) Barrier b) Engulf
bacteria c) Antibodies
3. COMPOSITION OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE • Collagen Fibers:
Large fibers made of the protein collagen and are typically the
most abundant fibers. Promote tissue flexibility. • Elastic Fibers:
Intermediate fibers made of the protein elastin. Branching fibers
that allow for stretch and recoil • Reticular Fibers: Small delicate,
branched fibers that have same chemical composition of
