A

Fat cells
Matrix is an areolar tissue in which fat globules predominate
Many cells contain large lipid deposits with nucleus to one side
Insulates body
Protects organs
Fuel storage

52
Q

Reticular connective tissue

A

Delicate network of interwoven fibers with reticular cells

Forms stroma of organs such as lymph nodes, the spleen, and bone marrow

53
Q

A 
Involuntarily controlled
Found only in heart 
Pumps blood through blood vessels
Striations 
Uninucleate
57
Q
