Conective Tissues

 Connective tissues have been regarded as a supporting tissue because 

• they connect and keep together many organs of the body, 
• they provide mechanical support to different parts of the body and to the whole body as well, 
• and protect and isolate many organs. 

Furthermore, they allow communication between different parts of the body. For example, the molecules absorbed by epithelia must cross the connective tissue before they reach other tissues, so that some connective tissues are considered internal environment of the body.
