Study Notes
Areolar Loose Connective Tissue
- Found beneath epithelial tissues, providing critical support.
- Functions to attach epithelium to underlying tissues.
- Facilitates diffusion of nutrients to epithelial cells, essential for their health.
Reticular Loose Connective Tissue
- Located in lymph nodes, spleen, and liver.
- Generates a supportive framework for soft organs.
- Critical for maintaining the structure and function of these organs.
Adipose Loose Connective Tissue
- Located under the skin and surrounding various organs.
- Serves as a lipid storage site, providing energy reserves.
- Provides insulation and cushions organs against shocks and impacts.
