    Connective tissue is classified based on the type of cells, arrangement and type of fibers, and composition of the extracellular matrix.

    Connective tissue proper
    Loose (areolar) connective tissue – highly cellular with a sparse, random arrangement of collagen fibers (and some elastic fibers)
    Dense connective tissue – collagen fibers with little ground substance
    Dense regular connective tissue – collagen fibers oriented in the same direction
    Dense irregular connective tissue – collagen fibers woven in multiple directions
    Specialized connective tissues
    Adipose tissue – storage of fats in adipocytes (more cells than extracellular matrix)
    Cartilage – extracellular matrix of type II collagen fibers and a highly-hydrated ground substance
    Bone – calcified extracellular matrix
    Blood – fluid matrix containing cells
    Embryonic connective tissue
    Mesenchyme – forms connective tissue between developing organs
    Mucous connective tissue – found in the umbilical cord
