Detailed explanation-1: -Characteristics. Reticular tissue is a special type of connective tissue that predominates in various locations that have a high cellular content. It has a branched and mesh-like pattern, often called reticulum, due to the arrangement of reticular fibers (reticulin). These fibers are actually type III collagen fibrils.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reticular connective tissue is composed of type III collagen, which forms a network that makes the framework for many organs and glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reticular fibers are highly branched, delicate, argyrophilic fibers that stain with ammoniacal silver solutions. Electron microscopic studies have shown that they are young collagen or a small bundle of collagen fibrils.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reticular connective tissue is named for the reticular fibers which are the main structural part of the tissue. The cells that make the reticular fibers are fibroblasts called reticular cells.
