Connective tissue is derived from mesenchyme (unlike most epithelial tissue which is derived from ectoderm and endoderm).
Connective tissue may be distinguished as either loose or dense, depending on the proportion of fibers.
Dense elastic connective tissue is found wherever the elasticity of elastin is of paramount importance, as in the ligamentum flavum (flavum refers to the yellow color conferred by the elastin) and the aorta.
Connective tissue is any type of biological tissue with an extensive extracellular matrix and often serves to support, bind together, and protect organs.
Loose connective tissue or Areolar connective tissue holds organs and epithelia in place, and has a variety of proteinaceous fibers, including collagen and elastin.
Reticular connective tissue is a network of reticular fibers (fine collagen) that form a soft skeleton to support the lymphoid organs (lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen.)
