show Areolar Connective tissue  
🗑
This type of loose connective tissue is found in the subcutaneous layer, around kidneys and heart, and behind the eyeballs. It functions to cushion, insulat, and store fat   show
🗑
show Reticular Connective tissue  
🗑
This type of connective tissue binds structures together by formin tendons, ligaments, organ capsules, fascia and the dermis of the skin   show
🗑
