Detailed explanation-1: -The common cell types in connective tissue include: fibroblasts, mast cells, plasma cells, macrophages, adipocytes, and leukocytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fibroblasts are predominant stromal cell type seen in soft connective tissues. They appear as plump spindle shaped or stellate shaped cells (active fibroblasts) with centrally placed oval or round nucleus [Figure 1].
Detailed explanation-3: -Mast cells are oval or irregularly shaped cells. Under light microscopy, a dense granular cytoplasm is seen, often obscuring the nucleus and other organelles. When it can be visualized, the nucleus is central, and the cell is mononuclear. Mast cells are found throughout the body in loose connective tissue.
Detailed explanation-4: -Areolar connective tissue is a type of dense, irregular connective tissue found in the human body. It consists mainly of a network of fibres and cells which are held together by a gel-like matrix.
