reticular connective tissue

Reticular connective tissue is a type of connective tissue.

Reticular fibers are not unique to reticular connective tissue, but only in this type are they dominant.

Reticular connective tissue is found around the liver, the kidney, the spleen, and lymph nodes, as well as in bone marrow.

Reticular cells are the fibrocytes of reticular connective tissue and form a network of reticular fibers.

Special connective tissue consists of reticular connective tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood.

Lymphatic Tissue is a specialized form of reticular connective tissue in the lymphatic system that contains large numbers of lymphocytes.

Running across it are a number of finer trabeculæ of reticular connective tissue, the fibers of which are, for the most part, covered by ramifying cells.

The mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) is a part of the immune system that consists of the phagocytic cells located in reticular connective tissue.

In Reticular Connective Tissue type III collagen/reticular fiber (100-150 nm in diameter) is the major fiber component.

In other cases, "loose connective tissue" is considered a parent category that includes mucous connective tissue, reticular connective tissue and adipose tissue.

Reticular connective tissue resembles areolar connective tissue, but the only fibers in its matrix are reticular fibers, which form a delicate network along which fibroblasts called reticular cells lie scattered.

'Mesenchyme', or mesenchymal connective tissue, is an example of reticular connective tissue, a type of loose connective tissue, which is derived from all three Germ layer and located within the embryo .
