PAL3.1 Image numbers	Dense or Loose	Types of Fibers found in each tissue. What types of fibers can you SEE?	Type of Connective Tissue Proper
1	Loose	There are three types of fibers, only collagen is visible as the other two, elastic and reticular are not visible.	Areolar CT
3 & 4	Loose		Adipose tissue
5-7	Loose		Reticular CT
8-10	Dense		Dense regular CT
11 & 12	Dense		Dense irregular CT
13-15	Dense		Elastic CT

Answer 1

Types of Connective Tissue and fibers found in them

Adipose Tissue - Adipose tissue does not contain any fibers, but they are held together by collagen fibers.

Reticular CT - Only contains network of Reticular fibers.

Dense Regular CT - Only contains Collagen fiber. Regular Arrangement.

Dense Irregular CT - Only contains Collagen fiber. Tightly packed, Irregular arrangement.

Elastic CT - Contains Elastic fibers and Collagen fibers.
