CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER LOOSE:

    • The fibroblasts are embedded in the matrix: they do not lie in lacunae (chambers within the matrix).
    • The fibers are loosely woven and thus the ground substance is highly visible.
    • A great number of accessory cells (blood cells, fat cells) can be found in these tissues.
    • Connective tissue proper loose can be subdivided into three types
      1. aerolar
      2. adipose
      3. reticular
    • Connective tissue proper loose serves as a general packaging material.
