Detailed explanation-1: -Areolar tissue contains fibroblasts and a large number of macrophages, mast cells, and plasma cells. Reticular tissue forms a mesh-like, supportive framework for soft organs such as the liver, the spleen, and lymphatic tissues.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph nodes contain an extensive array of extracellular matrix fibers frequently referred to as “reticular fibers” because of their reticular pattern and positive reaction with silver stains. These fibers are known to contain primarily type-III collagen.
Detailed explanation-3: -The reticular fibers form a labyrinth-like stroma to support free blood cells (large lymphocytes) in many lymphoid organs. Examples of lymphoid organs containing reticular fibers are lymph nodes, red bone marrow, and spleen.
