Our vision is to create technology that makes life better for everyone, everywhere â every person, every organization, and every community around the globe. This motivates us â inspires us â to do what we do. To make what we make. To invent, and to reinvent. To engineer experiences that amaze.
Bone connective tissue provides structure and support, adipose (or fat) connective tissue insulates and provides energy, and blood connective tissue distributes oxygen to our tissues and removes carbon dioxide. Another integral type of connective tissue is cartilage. The main structural components of our bodies are bone, muscle, and cartilage. Bones are rigid, while muscles bend, stretch, and are flexible. Cartilage connective tissue is the perfect halfway point between these other tissues.
Supportive connective tissues include cartilage and bone, more durable connective tissue types due to the semisolid or solid ground substance that accumulates in the matrix. Since the matrix of supportive connective tissues is either a semisolid or solid, cells of these tissues occupy small spaces or lacunae.xtracellular spaces in connective tissues are therefore more abundant and contain vessels. In connective tissues, the extracellular space is termed the extracellular matrix because products of specialized cells accumulate here.
