muscle tissue
nervous tissue
what are the 5 types of connective tissue
adipose tissue
areolar tissue
bone
blood
cartilage
what is the role of adipose tissue and what is the location of it
role-
energy storage instillation+ cushioning
its located under the skin and between organs
what is the role of areolar tissue
where is it located
role-
cushioning+support(holds organs in place)
its located between muscles organs and skin
