Ordinary connective tissue (connective tissue proper)
This types of connective tissue bears no special character or features.They only connect two types of tissue together. For example transitional epithelium of urinary bladder connected with smooth muscles layer by connective tissue known as lamina propria.
Classification of ordinary connective tissue:
1. Loose connective tissue : why it is known as loose because it contain loosely arranged connective tissue fibres
2. Dense connective tissue : why dense ? because it contain densely arranged connective tissue fibres. According to manner of arrangement of connective tissue fibres it is again two types:
Dense irregular connective tissue: dense connective tissue fibres arranged irregularly
Dense regular connective tissue : dense connective tissue fibres arranged regularly
Loose connective tissue contain large number of connective tissue cells but less and loosely arranged connective tissue fibres. Example: lamina propria of mucosa of intestine (it handle stress and allow distension)
Dense irregular connective tissue : contain less connective tissue cells but densely and irregularly arranged connective tissue fibres: Example : dermis of skin ( irregularly arranged connective tissue fibres bear more stress from any direction )
Dense regular connective tissue contain less connective tissue cells but densely and regularly arranged connective tissue fibres : example: tendon (it bear more stress but from particular direction )
