subQ, papillary of
dermis, around
BVs, nerves,
organs
- Adipose
- L: wherever areolar CT
found, subQ, arnd. heart
and kidneys, y. bone
marrow, padding arnd. joints
- F: reduces heat loss,
energy reserve,
supports and protects
organs
- "popcorn"
- Reticular
- F: forms stroma
of organs, binds
together smooth
muscle tissue
cells, filters and
removes worn- out
blood cells
- L: stroma of liver,
spleen, lymph
nodes, red bone
marrow
- "scaffolding" for soft organs
- Dense Connective Tissue(M)
- Regular
- L: forms
tendons and
most ligaments
- F: provides
strong
attachment
between various
structures,
withstands pulling
tension well
- "rope"
- Irregular
- L: occurs in
sheets like fasciae,
reticular region of
dermis, fibrous
pericardium of
heart, periosteum
of bone,
perichondrium of
cartilage, joint
capsules,
membrane
capsules around
various organs,
heart valves
- F: provides
tensile
strength in
many
directions

fibers going
every which
direction
- Elastic

tissues, walls
of arteries,
trachea, true
vocal cords,
susp. lig. of
penis, some
lig. between
vertebrae

abundant! ends
of long bones,
anterior ends of
ribs, nose, parts
of larynx,
trachea,
bronchi,
bronchial tubes,
embryonic &
fetal skeleton

smooth
surfaces for
movement
at joints,
flexibility &
support,
