Loose Connective Tissue Areolar Connective Tissue

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. Signup and view all the answers

Adipose Tissue

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. Signup and view all the answers

Reticular Connective Tissue

consists of a fine interlacing of reticular fibers and reticular cells. Forms the stroma of certain organs. Helps bind together the cells of smooth muscle. Found around soft organs such as lymphatic vessels, spleen, and liver. Signup and view all the answers
