Loose Connective Tissue Areolar Connective Tissue

<p>has a random distribution of all types of fibers and various cells in a web-like fashion. Not a very specialized tissue. Ground substance aids the passage of nutrients from blood vessels to adjacent cells and tissues. Found in the subcutaneous layer and connective tissue component of epithelial membranes. Fills spaces between muscle fibers.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Adipose Tissue

<p>consists of adipocytes specialized for storing triglycerides. Reduces heat loss through the skin. Serves as an energy reserve. Supports, protects, and generates heat to help maintain body temperature in newborns. Found protecting kidneys and cushioning the back of the eye.</p> Signup and view all the answers
