Connective tissue
Illustration of connective tissue. The cells of the connective tissue, that are depicted in blue, are called fibrocytes. The area between them is called extracellular matrix. Connective tissue surrounds organs and fills gaps in the body. It serves as a filler, water reservoir and a flexible layer. It also contains loose cells.
