Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Connective tissue is classified based on the density of fibers and cells within it. It can either be dense (e.g. tendons and ligaments), loose (e.g. adipose tissue), or loose with special properties (e.g. blood and lymph). Striated and smooth refer to muscle tissue, while simple, stratified, and squamous refer to epithelial tissue. Elastic and elastic with special properties also refer to specific types of connective tissue, but they are not the main classification categories.
