How can outpatient surgery facilities improve? To answer that question, Gallup looked at what differentiates the best outpatient surgery facilities (those scoring in the 80th percentile of the Gallup database) from the average facilities (those scoring in the 50th percentile).
Fibrous tissue consists different groups of specialized cells that work together to perform specific functions within the body. These types of tissue â including connective, dense fibrous and reticular â are categorized according to the roles they play. The one constant in this type of tissue is that the fibers work together to create a continuous mesh around various muscle fibers. One type of this tissue is known as fibrous connective tissue. This type of tissue is formed by elastic and collagen fibers and is used to bind other types of body tissues. Ligaments and tendons are made of fibrous connective tissue. There are no living cells in most of this connective tissue.
There are six major types of connective tissue, including loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, bone, cartilage, blood and lymph. There are many disorders involving connective tissue, including cellulitis, EDS and Marfan syndrome. To unlock this lesson you must be a Study.com Member.
