anatomy tissue

what are the 6 main functions of connective tissue?

• epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.

• connection, support, protection, storage, transportation, insulation

collagen

• skin protein that is stretchy, but can return to its original shape

• strong but flexible. provides mechanical strength to keep the body together; the way we move

• net like fiber that supports matric, organs, and tissues that can heal wounds; development

elastic fibers

• Net like fiber that supports matrix, organs, and tissues that can heal wounds and also just part of general development.

• Strong, but flexible. They provide mechanical strength to keep the body together and the way we move.

• A skin protein that is Stretchy, but can return to its original shape.

reticular fibers

• Strong, but flexible. They provide mechanical strength to keep the body together and the way we move.

• A skin protein that is Stretchy, but can return to its original shape.

• Net like fiber that supports matrix, organs, and tissues that can heal wounds and also just part of general development.
