Verified step by step guidance

Understand that connective tissue is a type of tissue in the body that supports, connects, or separates different types of tissues and organs.

Recognize that the three main components of connective tissue are essential for its structure and function.

Identify that the first component is 'cells,' which are the living part of the tissue and include fibroblasts, macrophages, and other cell types.

Identify that the second component is 'fibers,' which provide support and include collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers.

Identify that the third component is 'ground substance,' which is the non-cellular material that fills the space between the cells and fibers, providing a medium through which nutrients and other substances can diffuse.
