Loose Connective Tissue
AreolarMatrix: cobwebby Fluid containing all types of fibers forming a loose network that is soft, pliable and "cobwebby"
Predominant Cell Type: Fibroblasts Function: Universal packing material, connective tissue glue, and reservoir for salt and water Location: Everywhere Analogy: The areolar tissue is to the body as a dam is to a river |
AdiposeMatrix: Modification of areolar tissue with less fibers and a predominance of fat cells
Predominant Cell Type: Fat cells Function: Fat reservoir, cushions, and insulates Location: Hypodermis, in fat deposits in the breasts and hips, and around the kidneys Disease: Obesity is a disease that is caused when there is an over abundant amount of adipose tissue. |
ReticularMatrix: Loose network of interwoven reticular fibers
Predominant Cell Type: Reticular and free lymphocytes Function: Internal supporting framework and reservoir for free blood cells Location: Lymphoid organs (Spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow) |
