    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.
