Loose Connective Tissue & Dense Connective Tissue

Fluid Connective Tissue & Supporting/Structural Connective Tissue

None of the above
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Connective tissue proper is divided into two types: loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue. Loose connective tissue is characterized by loosely arranged collagen fibers and a gel-like ground substance. It provides support and flexibility to organs and holds them in place. Dense connective tissue, on the other hand, has densely packed collagen fibers and provides strength and resistance to stretching. It forms tendons, ligaments, and the dermis of the skin. The other options, fluid connective tissue and supporting/structural connective tissue, do not accurately represent the divisions of connective tissue proper.
