with help of neat labelled diagram, describe the structure of areolar connective tissues
Answers
Areolar Tissue is loose connective tissue that consists of a meshwork of collagen, elastic tissue, and reticular fibres - with many connective tissue cells in between the meshwork of fibres.
Above: Diagram of Areolar Tissue
The fibres that form the mesh structure of areolar tissue include:
Collagen Fibres
Elastic Fibres
Reticular Fibres
The different types of cells embedded within the areolar tissue include:
Fibroblasts
Plasma Cells
Adipocytes
Mast Cells, and
Macrophages.
All of the above (fibres and cells) are embedded in a semi-fluide ground substance - which is similar to the ground substance in which the chondrocytes are located in hyaline cartilage tissue.
