what are the two connective bone tissue types called?

Answer 1

Fibrous connective tissue (FCT)

Such tissues form ligaments and tendons; the majority of the tissue does not contain living cells, the tissue is primary composed of polysaccharides, proteins, and water.

The cells of fibrous connective tissue are mostly fibroblasts, irregular, branching cells that secrete strong fibrous proteins as an extracellular matrix. The most commonly secreted protein is collagen which represents one-fourth of all vertebrate protein. Collagen is tough and flexible and gives strength to tissue. Elastin fibers are thinner than collagen fibers and are also secreted by fibroblasts. These protein fibers have longer cross-links than collagen fibers, which gives elastin fibers great elasticity.

FCT forms ligaments and tendons which helps holds bones together.



I believe that's the answer.

Answer 2

Not quite sure what you are asking, but if you are looking for the two types of bone tissue, they are cortical bone and trabecular bone.

Answer 3

cartilage and tendon
