Connective Tissue

TermDefinition
Elastic Fibers Stretchy fibers that can bounce back to regular shape
Collagen Fibers Extremely tough fibers that provide strength.
Reticular Fibers Thinner and shorter fibers used to form nets that support organs
Elastic Tissue Connective Tissues with many elastic fibers, which makes them great for the walls of blood vessels, ligaments that connect vertebrae, and lungs.
Areolar Tissue The most common type of connective tissues, which is composed of a gel-like matrix and all three fibers. Forms the "packing-material" for our organs and under our Epithelial Tissues.
Adipose Tissue Connective Tissues with very little matrix and many tightly packed fat cells.
Irregular Dense Tissues Connective Tissues designed to be strong when pulled in multiple directions due to their randomly arranged collagen fibers
Regular Dense Tissues Connective Tissues designed to be strong when pulled in one direction due to their closely-packed, parallel collagen fibers in the matrix
Reticular Tissue Connective Tissues with a gel-like ground substance and reticular Fibers in the matrix. They form a "soft skeleton" that supports organs
