Answer 1

Tissues that typically bind and support organs are known as connnective tissues. If you've ever cooked and had to cut your own meat, its that thin filmy stuffy that some times you have to scrape off the surface or between pieces, but it's not the same as fat. Other things that are considered connective tissues are your bones, cartilage, and blood. I think there are a few others too that have more specific functions, but generally speaking they are called connective tissue.

Answer 2

Loose connective tissue bind epithelia to underlying tissue and as a packing material to hold organs in place. This type of tissue gets its name from the fibers it contains: collagenous, elastic, and reticular.
1. Collagenous: made of collagen, the most abundant protein in the animal kingdom.
A collagen fiber is a mass of fibers each a rope like coil of 3 collagen molecules. They have great tensile strength.

2. Elastic: Made of protein called elastin. These fibers are very resilient and as rubber snap the structure back after it has been moved.

3. Reticular: are branched and form tightly woven fabric fabric that joins connective tissue to adjacent tissue. Cells found in this type of tissue are: Fibroblasts, which the protein ingredient in extracellular fluid. Macrophages: are ameoboid cells that roam the body looking for bacteria and other unwanted foreign material to engulf.
