a. Cells that produce different types of connective tissue
b. Cells that break down different types of connective tissue
c. Cells that produce different types of epithelial tissue
d. Cells that produce different types of muscle tissue

- Chondroblasts are cells that forms cartilagneous tissue.
- Osteoblasts are bone forming cells.
- Fibroblasts are cells that forms collagen fibers that are essential components of connective tissue.
Thus, chondroblasts, osteoblasts and fibroblasts are cells forming connective tissue.
- Along with connective tissue, there are three other types of tissues found in humans namely epithelial tissue, nervous tissue and muscular tissue.
- Osteoclasts are the cells within the bone that cause breakdown and resorption of bones.
