Areolar: (loose connective) tissue: Fibrous glue(fascia)that hold organs together; collagenous and elastic fibres, plus a variety of cell types. Adipose(fat) tissue: Lipid storage, metabolism regulation; brown fat prods heat. Reticlular tissue: Delicate net of collage finer, as in bone marrow Dense fibrous tissue: Bundles of strong collagen fibres: ex: tendon Bone tissue: Matrix is calcified; functions as support and protection Cartilage tissue: Matrix is consistency of gristle-like gel; chondrocyte is cell type. Blood tissue: Matrix is fluid; functions are transportation and protection.
