General Characteristics. Does have blood vessels- . variations in blood supply (ligaments and tendons don’t heal as fast because they are poorly vascularized). Cartilage is avascular –no blood supply- heals very slowly. Connective Tissue. Found everywhere in the body. Most abundant and widely distributed of the primary tissues. Major functions. :.

Mesenchyme. as their common tissue of origin (. mesenchyme. derived from mesoderm). connective tissue . is applied to a tissue which fills the interstices between more specialized element and serve to hold them together and support them , for these reason connective tissue also called support tissue. It consist of three component that is cells, . (cartilage and bone. ). Specialized Connective Tissue . * Include : Skeletal connective tissue (cartilage and bone).. skeletal connective tissue. :. Cartilage:. is a flexible connective tissue that keeps . Connective Tissue Lecture Objectives. List the functions of connective tissue. . Describe the structure, function, and appearance of collagen (types I, II, and III) and elastic fibers.. Explain what ground substance is and what it looks like..
