• Adipose connective tissue

• Reticular connective tissue

what connective tissue is this?

• Loose (or Areolar) connective tissue

• Dense regular collagenous connective tissue

• Adipose connective tissue

• Reticular connective tissue

what is the Loose (or Areolar) connective tissue function?

• it wraps around organs and cushions it; holds and conveys tissue fluid

• attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones

• to help with stand tension within different directions

• allows recoil of tissue; maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries

what is the Dense regular collagenous connective tissue function?

• it wraps around organs and cushions it; holds and conveys tissue fluid

• attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones

• to help with stand tension within different directions

• allows recoil of tissue; maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries

what is the Dense elastic connective tissue function?

• it wraps around organs and cushions it; holds and conveys tissue fluid

• attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones

• to help with stand tension within different directions

• allows recoil of tissue; maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries

what is the Adipose connective tissue function?

• it wraps around organs and cushions it; holds and conveys tissue fluid

• attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones

• to help with stand tension within different directions

• insulates heat loss, supports and protects organs

what is the Reticular connective tissue function?

• it wraps around organs and cushions it; holds and conveys tissue fluid

• supports white blood cells

• to help with stand tension within different directions

• insulates heat loss, supports and protects organs

what is the Dense irregular collagenous connective tissue function?

• it wraps around organs and cushions it; holds and conveys tissue fluid

• attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones

• to help with stand tension within different directions

• allows recoil of tissue; maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries

what is the Dense regular collagenous connective tissue location?

• tendons, most ligaments

• distributed under epithelia of body

• dermis of the skin

• walls of large arteries
