Description
Connective tissue forms the glue between cells in the body's tissues, holding the cells together and giving those tissues structure and shape.
It is made of a number of different molecules, including a range of fibres which give strength and elasticity to many tissues.
This tissue provides the stretchy strength of tendons and ligaments around joints and allows the muscular blood vessel walls to expand and contract with every heart beat. It is also important in eye and lung.
