Document Summary

Description: loose arrangement of fibers which provides reservoir of water & salts but is also a prime site of edema during inflammatory reaction. Function: wraps and cushions organs; its macrophages phagocytize bacteria; plays role in inflammation; holds and conveys tissue fluid. Description: fat-filled adipocytes with displaced nuclei; do not reproduce; scanty matrix. Function: fuel reservoir, insulation against heat loss, supports & protects organs. Description: network of reticular fibers in a typical loose ground substance; reticular cells lie on the network. Function: fibers form soft internal skeleton (stroma) that supports free blood cells (ex. Description: primarily parallel collagen fibers; a few elastic fibers; major cell type is the fibroblast. Function: attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction. Description: irregularly arranged collagen fibers; some elastic fibers; fibroblast is the major cell type. Function: withstands tension exerted in many directions; provides structural strength.
