Adipose tissue or fatty connective tissue can be found in bone marrow, epidermal of skin, and around kidney. It functions as food storage, mechanical cushion, and protection from high temperature. The tissues contains a large amount of round-shaped (polygonal) and thin-wall cell with fat globules stored in it. Areolar Tissue is loose connective tissue that consists of a meshwork of collagen, elastic tissue, and reticular fibres - with many connective tissue cells in between the meshwork of fibres. The fibres that form the mesh structure of areolar tissue include: Collagen Fibres. Yellow fibrous tissue consists of matrix containing yellow elastic fibers. The fibers branch to from network. Yellow elastic tissue can be found on artery wall and ligament. The functions are for support and protective. White fibrous tissue is a type of connective tissue present in many locations throughout the body, including skin (e.g. dermis), ligaments, tendons, cartilage and bones.
