Dr Mok Mo Yin Rheumatologist University Department of Medicine Queen Mary Hospital Connective tissue diseases comprise a group of diseases involving the musculoskeletal Rheumatoid arthritis RA. Connective Tissue. 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. Connective tissue is one of the basic tissues which gives structural and metabolic support to the organ and other tissue of the body.. It connects other tissues.. . CONNECTIVE TISSUE. I. t is a type of tissue that connect and support other body tissues, also called supporting tissue.. CLASSIFOCATION:. Classified on the basis of following four criteria. Relative proportion of various fibers. * most abundant and widely distributed tissue. * functions:. binds structures together. supports and protects . fills spaces. produces blood cells. stores energy. provides immunity. the palm, in the thenar furrow.
