Detailed explanation-1: -The matrix is produced by fibroblasts (or related cell types–chondroblasts in cartilage and osteoblasts in bone).
Detailed explanation-2: -Areolar connective tissue is made of cells and extracellular matrix ("extra-” means “outside", so the extracellular matrix is material that is outside of the cells). The matrix has two components, fibers and ground substance.
Detailed explanation-3: -Areolar tissue contains fibroblasts, macrophages and mast cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fibroblasts seem to be the least specialized cells in the connective-tissue family. They are dispersed in connective tissue throughout the body, where they secrete a nonrigid extracellular matrix that is rich in type I and/or type III collagen, as discussed in Chapter 19.
