what type of connective tissue makes up ligaments?
bone
all connective tissue consists of three main components: fibers (elastic and collagenous fibers), ground substance and cells. not all authorities include blood or lymph as connective tissue because they lack the fiber component. all are immersed in the body water.









































the cells of connective tissue include fibroblasts, adipocytes, macrophages, mast cells and leucocytes.









































the term "connective tissue" (in german, "bindegewebe") was introduced in 1830 by johannes peter müller. the tissue was already recognized as a distinct class in the 18th century.

connective tissue
connective tissue can be broadly subdivided into connective tissue proper, and special connective tissue. connective tissue proper consists of loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue (which is further subdivided into dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues.) loose and dense connective tissue are distinguished by the ratio of ground substance to fibrous tissue. loose connective tissue has much more ground substance and a relative lack of fibrous tissue, while the reverse is true of dense connective tissue. dense regular connective tissue, found in structures such as tendons and ligaments, is characterized by collagen fibers arranged in an orderly parallel fashion, giving it tensile strength in one direction. dense irregular connective tissue provides strength in multiple directions by its dense bundles of fibers arranged in all directions.
