Connective tissue

Embryonic CT
- Mesenchyme
  - -embryo -spindle-shaped - less collagen fibres
- Mucous CT
  - -umblical cord -gelatin-like ECM (Wharton's jelly)
Specialised CT
- Bone, cartilage, blood
CT proper
- Dense CT
  - Regular
    - More fibres (collagen, arranged parallel)
    - Tendons, ligaments
    - Provides maximum strength
  - Irregular
    - More fibres (collagen) -less ground subst. and cells (fibroblasts)
    - Reticular dermis, submucosa
    - Fn: Provides strength, resistance to stretching
- Loose CT (AREOLAR tissue)
  - -loosely arranged fibres -more ground subst.
  - papillary dermis, mucosa
  - Fn: Diffusion of O2/nutrients, immune defence
