GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Loose and dense connective tissue are made up of the following three fibers: collagen fibers, reticular fibers, and elastin fibers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The three types of loose connective tissue include adipose, areolar and basement membrane. There are two types of adipose; brown and white, and they function to keep the body warm and provide energy. Areolar is the most abundant of the types of loose connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Areolar and adipose tissue are both loose connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the past, the designations areolar tissue, adipose tissue, and reticular tissue have been listed as subsets of loose connective tissue. However, they are no longer considered subsets of loose connective tissue. Loose connective tissue is a subset of connective tissue proper.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reticular fibers are also scattered throughout various locations within the human body, but they do not form reticular tissue. These include: Loose connective tissue, where it intersects the epithelium. Around adipocytes, nerves, small blood vessels, and muscle cells.
