Connective tissues are a kind of tissue cells

that use to connect, bind, hold, and support

one part of another part of the body.

BLOOD OR NERVES
 BONE TISSUE (osseous tissue) - is a
calcified connective tissue, perfect for
supporting and protecting your body’s
various structures.
Blood develops from mesenchyme and is made
up of cells surrounded by an extracellular
nonliving matrix: in this case, the ground
substance is your blood plasma, which has
protein fibers floating around in it.
NERVOUS
TISSUE
 Nervous or the nerve tissue is the main
tissue of our nervous system. It monitors and
regulates the functions of the body.
 That basic nervous tissue has two big functions -- sensing stimuli and
sending electrical impulses throughout the body, often in response to
those stimuli.
Two different cell types– neurons and glial cells
NEURON

Neurons are the specialized

building blocks of the
nervous system. They
generate and conduct the
electrochemical nerve
impulses that let you think.
CELL BODY

The cell body, or soma, is

the neuron’s life support.
It’s got all the necessary
goods like a nucleus,
mitochondria, and DNA.
Dendrites are the finger-like
cells present on the end of a
neuron. They are short,
branching fibers extending
from the cell body of the
nerve cell.

DENDRITES
The long, rope-like axon is
the transmission cable– it
carries messages to other
neurons, muscles, and
glands

 GLIAL
CELLS

Glial cells provide support and protection to the neurons (nerve cells),
maintain homeostasis, clean up debris, and form myelin.
