The epithelial tissue is composed of epithelial cells and a small amount of extracellular matrix. The connective tissue is composed of different cells and a larger amount of extracellular matrix. The cells of the epithelial tissue are arranged cellular sheets either in single or multiple layers.

How are connective tissues different?
The major difference between the two tissues, besides where they are found, is the direction in which the fibers run. Dense Regular Connective Tissue -- Found in tendons and ligaments and it is dense with collagen fibers that run parallel to one another (thus the name).
What are the different types of connective tissue and their functions?

What are the main differences between connective tissue and the other three tissue types?
How does connective tissue differ from the other three major tissue types? -Connective tissue often consists of relatively few cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. -Connective tissue consists of contractile proteins. -Connective tissue consists of cells capable of transmitting electrical impulses.
What are the differences between the four tissue types?
There are 4 basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together (bone, blood, and lymph tissues). Epithelial tissue provides a covering (skin, the linings of the various passages inside the body).
What are 3 general characteristics of connective tissue?
Chapter 3 - Connective Tissue. Connective tissue provides support, binds together, and protects tissues and organs of the body. Connective tissue consists of three main components: cells, protein fibers, and an amorphous ground substance. Together the fibers and ground substance make up the extracellular matrix.
What are 4 types of connective tissue?
Classification of connective tissues:
There are four classes of connective tissues: BLOOD, BONES, CARTILAGE and CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER.

What are 3 types of connective tissue?
There are three main groups of connective tissues: loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, and specialized connective tissue.

What are the two main types of Fibres of connective tissue?
There are two main types of fibre; collagen, and elastin and fibronectin. You may also come across Fibronectin which is a non-collagenous fibrous connective protein that helps cells to stick to the extracellular matrix.
Which type of connective tissue is the most common in the typical human body?
Loose (areolar connective tissue) is the most abundant form of collagenous connective tissue. It occurs in small, elongated bundles separated by regions that contain ground substance. Dense connective tissue is enriched in collagen fibers with little ground substance.
