Many organs have loose connective tissue that works as a shock absorber as well as a tissue binder. It lets water, salts, and various nutrients to pass through to cells and tissues that are near or embedded. Fat storage cells make up the majority of adipose tissue, with little extracellular matrix.
Adipose Tissue
Adipose tissue is a loose collection of specialized cells called adipocytes buried in a network of collagen fibers that lies three layers under the skin. Its primary purpose in the body is to store lipids and triglycerides as a fuel source.
Bone Osseous Tissue
Bone tissue that provides strength and structure. Bone is made up of two layers: compact tissue (the hard outer layer) and cancellous tissue (the soft interior layer) (the spongy, inner layer that contains red marrow). Osteoblasts, which produce bone, and osteoclasts, which break down bone, keep osseous tissue in good shape.
