Vedclass · Answer

(B) Areolar tissue is a type of loose connective tissue that contains fibroblasts,macrophages,mast cells,and two types of fibres: collagen fibres and elastin fibres. Collagen fibres provide structural strength and rigidity to the tissue. Elastin fibres provide elasticity and flexibility. If collagen fibres are removed,the tissue loses its structural strength and rigidity,leaving behind the elastin fibres,which makes the tissue significantly more loose and elastic.
