What is the Role of Connective Tissue in Distribution?
Connective tissues are widely distributed throughout the body and serve as the structural framework for many organs. Specialized forms include:
Loose Connective Tissue: Provides flexibility and cushioning, found in the dermis of the skin and around blood vessels. Dense Connective Tissue: Provides strength and is found in tendons and ligaments. Cartilage: Found in joints, ear, nose, and respiratory tract, providing support and flexibility. Bone: Provides structural support and protection for organs. Blood: A fluid connective tissue that transports nutrients, gases, and waste products.
