Functions of areolar tissues:
The areolar connective tissue functions mainly in binding organs and their components together providing elasticity when stretched
It forms helices around long axes of expandable tubular structures such as blood vessels, ducts of glands and gastrointestinal tract thereby providing support and cushion to these structures
The areolar connective tissue also supplies blood to the nearby epithelial tissue
It contains leucocytes (white blood cells) that help in fighting infections and the space of the areolar tissue helps these cells to move about freely and easily find infectious cells.
Description of Areolar Connective Tissue Structure and Histology
In areolar connective tissue, the fiber bundles are loosely arranged with wide spaces in between them. It contains random distribution of much ground substance, little collagen and variety of cells together with blood vessels that are numerous. The areolar connective tissue appears different in various organs and may even appear compact when the areolar tissue of the skin is viewed with microscope making it difficult to be distinguished from dense irregular connective tissue.
Areolar connective tissue is best identified under the microscope due to its lack of structure the fibers are randomly arranged. If you find a random arrangement of tissue under the microscope with spaces, it is most likely areolar tissue you are viewing.
Areolar Connective Tissue Location in the body:
Commonly found under epithelial tissues
Found in the dermis
Areolar connective tissue is found in the lamina propria of the gastrointestinal tract and also of the respiratory tract.
It is found in the layers surrounding glands and their ducts
Areolar connective tissue is found in the mucous membrane of the urinary tract and reproductive tract

Answer:
Explanation:
Function;
Areolar connective tissue holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues.
It also serves as a reservoir of water and salts for surrounding tissues.
Almost all cells obtain their nutrients from and release their wastes into areolar connective tissue
