1. Loose connective tissue (which include areolar tissue, reticular tissue, and adipose tissue) hold organs in place and attach epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. It also surrounds the blood vessels and nerves. Various cells like the fibroblasts, mast cells, macrophages are widely dispersed in this tissue.

2. Dense regular tissue includes tendons and ligaments. Tendon connects skeletal muscle with a bone. Ligaments attach one bone to another.

3. Dense irregular tissue occurs at deeper regions of the dermis of the skin, pericardium, perichondrium, joint valves etc.

4. Specialised connective tissue includes cartilage, bones and blood.
Cartilage is a rubbery tissue made by cells called chondroblasts. It does not have any blood vessels within it, so healing is not easy if it is damaged.
Bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the vertebral skeleton. It supports and protects the various organs of the body, produces red and white blood cells, stores minerals and also enables mobility.
Blood delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away.
