Reticular connective tissue constitutes ____
A
stroma of hemopoietic organs
B
dermal papillary layer
C
dermal reticular layer
D
tendon
E
hypoderm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The reticular connective tissues are found in the kidney, the spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. Their function is to form a stroma and provide structural support, such as that in the lymphoid organs, e.g. red bone marrow, spleen, lymphocytes and lymph node stromal cells .

Detailed explanation-2: -Although reticular fibers are widely distributed in the body, reticular tissue is limited to certain sites. It forms a labyrinth-like stroma (literally, “bed or “mattress"), or internal framework, that can support many free blood cells (largely lymphocytes) in lymph nodes, the spleen, and red bone marrow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reticular connective tissue Reticular tissue supports the stroma of body organs, especially lymphoid. Reticular meshes filter lymph and provide a microenvironment for the passage and attachment of white blood cells. Thus, it is present in red bone marrow, lymph nodes and the spleen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reticular Connective Tissue: forms stroma of liver, spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. This tissue must be specifically stained and is usually taken from a lymph node or the spleen. These soft organs need an internal scaffolding called the stroma to hold them together.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reticular connective tissue is composed of type III collagen, which forms a network that makes the framework for many organs and glands.
