Connective Tissue
Secrete fibers
Engulf bacteria and cell debris by phagocytosis
Make antibodies
Connective Tissue
Extracellular Matrix
Fluid, gel or solid plus protein fibers
two major components: ground
substance and fibers
Fibers: 3 types
Collagen fibers: very strong and flexible
Elastic fibers: smaller stretch and return to
original length
Reticular fibers: provide support and strength

Classification: Cartilage
Types
Hyaline Cartilage
Most abundant & the weakest type of cartilage.
Provides smooth surfaces for movement at joints, flexibility,
and support .
Fibrocartilage
Support and joining structures together. Strongest type of
cartilage.
Elastic Cartilage
Provides strength and elasticity; maintains shape of certain
structures.
Secrete mucus
Mucous membrane
lubricates food as it moves through the GIT. Secretes some
enzymes needed for digestion.
