	LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
		Loose connective tissue is often used to link epithelia to other parts of the organ wall.
		Loose connective tissue is also found under the epidermis (epithelium) of the skin in a region called the dermis.
		Loose connective tissue is also filled with reticular fibers which are fine fibers used for support.

	Loose connective tissue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Loose connective tissue is the most common type of connective tissue in vertebrates.
		The cells of this type of tissue are generally separated by quite some distance by a gel-like gelatinous substance primarily made up of collagenous and elastic fibers.
		Loose connective tissue is named based on the "weave" and type of its constituent fibers.

	XI. Splanchnology. 3d. 6. The Mammæ. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		—The mamma is developed partly from mesoderm and partly from ectoderm—its bloodvessels and connective tissue being derived from the former, its cellular elements from the latter.
		—The mamma consists of gland tissue; of fibrous tissue, connecting its lobes; and of fatty tissue in the intervals between the lobes.
		The gland tissue, when freed from fibrous tissue and fat, is of a pale reddish color, firm in texture, flattened from before backward and thicker in the center than at the circumference.

	Connective Tissue
		The amount of tissue fluid is fairly constant and there is an equilibrium between the water entering and leaving the intercellular substance of the connective tissue.
		Connective tissues are very heterogeneous in structure and function, however all have the three main structural components (cells, fibers and ground substance).
		Mast cells are abundant in loose connective tissue (especially adjacent to blood vessels), in the dermis, and in the lamina propria of the respiratory and digestive tracts.

	Connective Tissue
		Connective tissues are specialized for mechanical functions, supporting, protecting, connecting, dividing and shaping various organs.
		Connective tissue proper may be defined as a tissue of mesodermal origin composed of relatively few cells and a very large amount of extracellular material.
		Some connective tissue cells are permanent residents of the tissue, such as fibroblasts, and some are transient migrants, such as lymphocytes passing through the tissue space from blood to lymph.

	Connective Tissue I
		Connective tissue is made up of certain types of cells and extracellular products secreted by them.
		Loose connective tissue is found just about everywhere in the body, as it provides support for structures passing through it, such as blood and lymph vessels and nerves.
		Dense connective tissue differs from loose connective tissue in that there are more fibres, fewer fibroblasts and less ground substance filling the gaps between them.

	Loose connective tissue (Areolar)
		Areolar tissue (loose connective tissue proper) forms the stroma or framework of many organs and surrounds blood vessels and nerves.
		Lamina propria is the term for the loose connective tissue that underlies a moist epithelium.
		Areolar connective tissue is generally where inflammation starts.

	Connective Tissue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Connective tissues contain a variety of cells embedded in a matrix of fibers and ground substance, which consists of water, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
		For example, loose connective tissue holds internal organs in place in the body cavity, lines the heart and abdominal cavities, binds individual organs or parts of organs together, and attaches the skin to the tissues underneath.
		The characteristic loose, irregular make-up of the tissue's fibers and the large amount of ground substance found in loose connective tissue make the tissue very flexible and, consequently, permits movement among the non-connective tissues it connects.

	3. Connective Tissue
		One generalization is that all of the cells of connective tissues derive from embryonic mesenchyme; thus, they are part of an extended family of cells with at least some common characteristics.
		In fact, loose connective tissue often shows less shrinkage artifact than does dense because the larger number of interlaced fibers forms a felt-work that shrinks as a whole instead of allowing individual bundles of fibers to pull away from each other individually to form internal gaps.
		Sometimes it is the vasculature or looseness of the tissue or the presence of glands which highlights the distinctiveness of the lamina propria.

	Connective Tissue
		As was true for loose connective tissue, the dense and skeletal connective tissues involve more than just cells; it is the non-living extracellular substances which determine the nature and function of the tissue.
		This type of dense regular connective tissue is found in the tendon, which connects muscles to bones or cartilage (Tendon 1).
		Since bony tissue has no flexibility, the connective tissue must provide it and therefore elastic fibers are now found in the matrix; collagen is also present to provide tensile strength (Ligament 1).
