Areolar

wardsyd000_1 — 2024-10-22 14:18:35 UTC

Where- underneath the skin and between muscles

Characteristics- delicate thin membranes with fibroblast, collagen and elastic fibers

Function- provides support and helps to protect organs, muscles, and many other tissues.

Adipose

wardsyd000_1 — 2024-10-22 14:20:37 UTC

Where- Pancreas

Characteristics-white clear cells used to store fat

function- energy storage and release, temperature insulation, organ protection, and hormone secretion.

Dense

wardsyd000_1 — 2024-10-22 14:22:43 UTC

Where-tendons and ligaments

Characteristics- closely packed collagen fibers with fine network or elastic fibers

function- supports, protects, and holds bones, muscles, and other tissues and organs in place.

hyaline cartilage

wardsyd000_1 — 2024-10-22 14:25:11 UTC

Where-end of bones, rings or trachea

where-in-between vertebrae

characteristics- tough, a lot of collagen and its a shock absorber

function-act as a cushion within joints, where it helps manage compression forces and reduces stress placed on joints.

bone

wardsyd000_1 — 2024-10-22 14:29:56 UTC

where- bone
