In both fibrous and loose (aerolar) connective tissue, these cells produce the matrix:
|
|
Chondrocytes
|
|
|
Adipocytes
|
|
|
Osteocytes
|
|
|
Fibroblasts
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The cells, called chondrocytes, make the matrix and fibers of the tissue. Chondrocytes are found in spaces within the tissue called lacunae.
Detailed explanation-2: -Loose connective tissue It is usually found just underneath the epithelial layer. Areolar tissue contains fibroblasts and a large number of macrophages, mast cells, and plasma cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
