    1. Connective Tissue Deep tissues that are never exposed to the environment outside of the body. Familiar types are: bone, blood and fat. Connective tissue is the most abundant type of tissue and is found almost everywhere.

    2. Connective tissue Functions: 1. Establish a structural framework 2. Transport fluids and dissolves materials from one region of the body to another. (blood) 3. Provide protection for delicate organs

    3. More functions: 4. Supporting , surrounding and interconnecting other tissue types. 5. Store energy reserves especially in the form of lipids. 6. Defending the body from invasion of pathogens.

    4. 3 Basic Components 1. Specialized cells 2. Extracellular proteins 3. A fluid known as ground substances.
