Elastic Connective Tissue is characterized by the presence of abundant elastic fibers within the matrix. ... This tissue may be dispersed within other tissues, such as in an artery where smooth muscle and elastic connective tissue are both present so as to provide the organ with both elastic as well as contractile properties.
