Melanocytes (fixed)
Definition
Produce melanin (dark brown pigment) common in epithelial tissue but also found in connective tissue
Term
Free Macrophages
Definition
Like fixed version, called monocytes when in the blood
Term
Mast Cell (wandering)
Definition
Small, mobile cells found near blood vessels secrete histamine and heparin to stimulate local inflammation in response to injury/infection
Term

Definition
Migrate through body and increase in number where tissue damage occurs. Can develop into plasma cells
Term
Microphages (wandering)
Definition
Migrate through body and respond to chemicals released by macrophages and mast cells

Definition
Thinner and form complex networks; branched. Return to original length after stretching
Term
Reticular Fibers
Definition
Highly branched & delicate supporting networks. Able to resist forces applied from many directions
Term
Areolar Connective Tissue (loose)
Definition
Found below epithelium in most parts of the body. Made up mostly of fibroblasts with elastic and collagenous fibers
Term
Reticular Connective Tissue (loose)
Definition
Resembles areolar tissue but the matrix is made up of only reticular fibers. Found in bone marrow, spleen, liver, and lymph nodes
Term
Adipose Connective Tissue (loose)
Definition
Modified fibroblast which store fat and thus become swollen, pushing the nucleus to the edge of the cell
