Skin is composed of epithelial cells, and is therefore not an example of connective tissue. The major types of connective tissue include bone, adipose, blood, and cartilage. Any tissues can essentially be broken down into epithelium (or endothelium), muscle tissue, neural tissue, or connective tissue.
Q. What is the main difference between the structure of the connective tissues and the structure of the epithelium?
The epithelial tissue is more organized with cells packed closely together whereas connective tissue is more spread out. The epithelial tissue does not have any blood vessels connected to it, whereas the connective tissue does.

Q. What is epithelial and connective tissue?
epithelial and connective tissue is that epithelial tissue lines. the cavity and the surfaces of organs and blood vessels throughout the animal body whereas connective tissue. supports, connects and separates different types of tissues and organs in the body.
Q. What is connective tissue and muscular tissue?
Connective tissue is derived from the third germ layer, the mesoderm, which is the same source of origin of muscle tissue. The different types of connective tissue include adipose, fibrous, and elastic tissues as well as blood, bone, and cartilage.
Q. What are the three general characteristics of connective tissue?
Connective tissue is the most abundant and widely distributed of the primary tissues. Connective tissue has three main components: cells, fibers, and ground substance. Together the ground substance and fibers make up the extracellular matrix.
Q. What is an example of loose connective tissue?
Examples of loose connective tissue include areolar tissue and reticular connective tissue.
Q. What are the major types of connective tissue and how are they used to classify connective tissue?
Connective tissue is classified into two subtypes: soft and specialized connective tissue. Connective tissues can have various levels of vascularity. Cartilage is avascular, while dense connective tissue is poorly vascularized. Others, such as bone, are richly supplied with blood vessels.
Q. Which is an example of connective tissue proper?
Tendons connecting muscles to bone and ligaments connecting bone to bone are examples of dense connective tissue proper.
Q. What is an example of epithelial tissue?
Epithelial tissues line the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels throughout the body, as well as the inner surfaces of cavities in many internal organs. An example is the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. There are three principal shapes of epithelial cell: squamous, columnar, and cuboidal.
