Term
areolar
Definition

is very loose tissue and has irregular network of fiberss

 

 

Term
adipose
Definition
 is similar but has high concentration of fat also found just beneath the skin in a layer of tissue called subcataneous fascia
Term
Loose tissue is and has four groups
Definition

closeley packed fibers, collagenous fibers predominate, when boiled will yield gelatin.

 

Tendons

Ligaments

Reticular

Term
Tendons
Definition
tough, non elastic, largely composed of closely packed parallel fibers (muscle)
Term
Ligaments
Definition
tightly packed parallel fibers but with abundance of elastic fibers (bone to bone, cartilage to bone) means a band of tissue that connects bones or supports viscera
Term
Fascia
