Tissue Type

consists of collagen & elastin fibers; connect adjacent structures, underlines epithelia, surrounds blood vessels, nerves trachea

dominated by fat cells; form protective padding, store excess calories, insulate to conserve heat

reticular fibers & cells; forms framework of spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow

closest packed collagen fibers; no blood vessels, forms tendons, ligaments, fascia & protective capsule around kidneys, spleen, nerves

composed of chondrocytes, rubbery, flexible matrix, no blood vessels, receive oxygen & nutrients via diffusion

called osseous tissue; composed of osteocytes & mineral salt crystals; storage site for calcium; red marrow

Exists as a fluid, liquid matrix (plasma), no fibers
