What is the difference between “loose” connective tissue (CT) and “dense” connective tissue?
Fibres occupy most of the volume in dense CT.
Dense CT includes cartilage, while loose CT does not.
Loose CT has a good blood supply, while dense CT does not.
Loose CT has no fibres (and dense CT does).
Fibres occupy most of the volume in dense CT.
The preponderance of fibres is what makes the CT “dense”. Cartilage is classified as supportive CT.
