CONNECTIVE TISSUE. Connective tissue consists of cells separated by varying amounts of extracellular substance. In connective tissues cells typically account for only a small fraction of the tissue volume. The extracellular substance consists of fibres which are embedded in ground substance containing tissue fluid.Fibres in connective tissue can be divided into three types: collagen fibres, reticular fibres and elastic fibres.n connective tissues cells typically account for only a small fraction of the tissue volume.
