The gelatinous material is strengthened by a loose scattering of protein fibressuch as collagen, elastin, which makes tissue elastic and reticulin which supports the tissue by forming acollagenous meshwork.AREOLAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE– Also known spongy tissue.– It is most widely distributed tissue in the body.– In this tissue maximum intercellular space or substances/matrix is present.– Due to irregular arrangement of bundle of collagen fibres many gaps are present. These spaces calledAreolae.– In areolae other components of connective tissue are distributed like fibres, cell & matrix.– Few elastic fibres are present but reticular fibres are completely absent.– Mast cells, Macrophage & Fibroblast contain mone amount.Corporate Office: CP Tower, IPIA, Road No.1, Kota (Raj.), Ph: 0744-3040000 (6 lines) ANIMAL TISSUE 17
