A. BACKGROUND
Connective tissue is widely distributed in all parts of the body with
the main function of connecting various components of cells or tissues.
Connective tissue cells, both fixed and free, have specific functions that
complement each other to maintain the histophysiological integrity of
connective tissue (Wangko & Karundeng, 2014).
Connective tissue is also called supporting tissue or supporting
tissue consisting of fibers, cells, and extracellular fluid. Connective tissue
acts as a support, protector, and structure giver to other tissues and organs
in the body (Sari & Anitasari, 2018).
The basic material of connective tissue is a semi-fluid
homogeneous material. This basic material consists of
mucopolysaccharide acid. The main component of mucopolysaccharide
acid is hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that functions as a water
binder, lubricant, and shock absorber. Tissue fluid bound by hyaluronic
acid serves as a medium through which nutrients and waste substances
pass between cells (Aryulina, 2004).
Connective tissue has two main basic components, namely cells
and extracellular/intercellular matrix. Cell components consist of fixed
cells and free cells. Fixed cell components include, among others:
mesenchymal/pericytic cells, fibroblasts, fat cells (adipocytes), mast cells,
and macrophages; while the free cell components include: plasma cells,
lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and
macrophages (Wangko & Karundeng, 2014).
Connective tissue is the body's structural support and dynamic site
for other important functions. For example, it is a medium for the
exchange of metabolites; defense, protection, and repair of the body;
storage and mobilization of energy (fat); regulation and integration of
mechanical responses and cell signaling; storage and mobilization of
growth and differentiation factors and guides and barriers to cell
locomotion and migration (Egea et al., 2020).
B. PURPOSE
The objectives of this experiment are as follows:
1) Identify and describe the structural characteristics of various types
of connective tissue from microscopic observations.
2) Compare and distinguish the structural characteristics of various
types of connective tissue from microscopic observations.
3) Comparing the image of the connective tissue from microscopic
observations with the image on the photomicrograph.
C. BENEFIT
The benefit of this activity is that we as students can know the
parts of connective tissue and can also identify the connective tissue.

B. Suggestion
1) For practitioners, must be more careful in using and must understand
the instructor well before conducting the experiment.
2) For assistants, pay more attention when the practitioner is confused in
the experiment.
3) For the laboratory more attention to laboratory tools and materials
before experiment.
