most abundant and widely distributed tissue functions binds structures together supports and protects fills spaces produces blood cells stores energy provides immunity. KEEPING THE BODY TOGETHER. Functions of connective tissue:. Interconnection of tissues. Support and motion. Storage. Cushioning and insulation. Enclosing and separating. Transport. protection. Characteristics of connective tissue. The dense layer of the basal lamina of all epithelial tissue is created by connective tissue. . Connective tissue connects the epithelium to the rest of the body.. Three Basic Components. Specialized cells. Connective Tissue. Found everywhere in the body. Most abundant and widely distributed of the primary tissues. Major functions. :. Binding and support (bone and cartilage). Protection (bone and cartilage). Connective Tissue Cells. Connective tissue proper . cells are usually divided into two groups based on their ability to move within the connective tissue. .. FIXED CELLS:. . Fibrocytes. (or fibroblasts) . Most . common.
