Connective tissue is the most abundant, widely distributed, and varied type. It includes fibrous tissues, fat, cartilage, bone, bone marrow, and blood.he most abundant fiber in connective tissues is a tough protein called collagen. Tendons, ligaments, and the white stringy tissue (fascia) seen in some cuts of meat are composed almost entirely of collagen, as is leather, which consists of the connective tissue layer (dermis) of animal skins.

Its bulk consists of intercellular substance or matrix, whose nature gives each type of connective tissue its particular properties.ucous tissue a jellylike connective tissue, as occurs in the umbilical cord. muscle tissue, muscular tissue the substance of muscle, consisting of muscle fibers, muscle cells, connective tissue, and extracellular material.
