    Organisms and the whole body rely on connective tissues to keep their structures together, create a framework, and maintain stability. The connective tissues seen in the three pictures below are examples of this kind of tissue.
    • Elastic cartilage, also known as yellow fibrocartilage, is a form of cartilage that gives specific bodily components, such as the ears, both strength and flexibility. It supplies the skeletal foundation for the pinna and the lateral area of the external auditory meatus inside the outer ear. In addition to the epiglottis, the corniculate and cuneiform laryngeal cartilages also include elastic cartilage.

    • An adipose tissue, sometimes known as “fatty” tissue, consists of connective tissue that is composed mostly of fat cells that are specialized to generate and store big globules of fat. It’s mostly present in the dermis, but it may also be found in the muscles, the intestines, the membrane folds of the intestines, the heart, and other places. As well as in the blood, it may be found in the bone marrow, where it gives the tissue a yellow hue. There are two sources of adipose tissue fat: dietary fats and the body’s own fat production.
      • Areolar connective tissue is a kind of tissue that may be found throughout the human body and serves to link and surround the various organs. This is a form of connective tissue that may be found in a variety of locations inside the human body. This particular form of tissue serves an essential purpose in the body since it not only supplies the cells with the nutrients they need but also works as a cushion to protect the organs from a variety of outside influences. This tissue begins to atrophy and become more rigid as we get older, which in turn leads to difficulties such as back discomfort, sagging skin, and other similar issues.
