This type of tissue is very common in the body.
There are many different forms of connective tissue. S 2

3. Connective Tissue
It is used to connect muscle to muscle, bone to bone, and muscle to bone. S 3

4. Areolar Connective Tissue
Wrapper and pillow for organs
Can destroy bacteria
Moves tissue fluids S 4

5. Adipose Connective Tissue
Reserve fuel
Insulator
Cushion for organs S 5

6. Reticular Connective Tissue
Forms a net for other cells
Supports cells such as liver cells in a soft skeleton S 6

7. Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Withstands tension in one direction
Attaches muscle to bone and bone to muscle S 7

8. Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Withstands tension in any direction
Nonparallel fibers S 8

9. Cartilage
Connective tissue with properties between those of bone and dense connective tissue
Hyaline
Elastic S 9

10. Hyaline Cartilage Good for cushioning
Resists extreme amounts of compressive stress S 10

11. Elastic Cartilage Extremely flexible
Can return to its original position S 11
