AB  - Connective  tissue  provides  a  framework  and  support  for  a  large  variety  of  structures,  including  organs,  blood  vessel  walls,  as  well  as  the  better  known  functions  of  connecting  muscle  to  bone  and  bone  to  bone.  Chondrocytes  are  responsible  for  the  production  of  connective  tissue  components,  including  the  principal  protein,  collagen.  The  three  types  of  connective  tissues  offer  a  wide  variety  of  functions  to  fulfill  the  many  roles  needed  by  the  body.  A  multitude  of  diseases  result  from  abnormalities,  deficiencies,  or  overproduction  of  connective  tissues  or  their  components.
