Axon: what type of ct makes up tendons and ligaments. They"re all connective tissue: what tissue transmits electrical signals from sensory receptors to effectors. Epithelial: name one location of reticular loose ct in body. Blast: epithelial cells exhibit _______ in that they have an apical surface and basal surface. Loose connective, areolar: et is called _____ because is doesn"t contain blood vessels. Dense regular- collagen fibers are arranged in parallel sheets.
