Connective tissue is the most diverse of the four tissue types with a wide variety of Functions The connective tissues Functions of connective tissue Protection of organs Providing structural framework for the body. Page 81 - 85. Functions. Protection. Support. Binding together other body tissues. Characteristics. Most connective tissues are vascularized (have good blood supply). Ligaments and tendons are exceptions. Key Terms. Histology:. the study of tissues.. Tissues:. groups of cells which are similar in structure and which perform common or related functions.. Four Basic Kinds of Tissues. Epithelial Tissue. Prepared by : . Reem Aldossari. Connective tissue is the most diverse of the four tissue types with a wide variety of Functions.. The connective tissues. Functions of connective tissue:. *. Protection of organs. The Protozoa are the simplest and most primitive animals.. They live either singly or in colonies. Some are parasitic. . They are usually defined as "unicell­ular" animals.. General characteristics. BIO 137: Anatomy & . Physiology . I. Tissues. Tissues are a group of cells with a common embryonic origin that function together to carry out specialized activities.. They include various types, . Connect body parts, widely distributed. Functions. Protect, Support, Bind. Characteristics. Varied blood supply. Contain an extracellular matrix. Extracellular Matrix. Produced by connective tissues. 4-. 2. Tissue Level of Organization. The classification of tissue types is based on the structure of cells; the composition of noncellular substance surrounding cells (extracellular matrix) and the functions of the cells.. A. General .
