The given figure shows the image of areolar tissue, a type of loose connective tissue. Loose connective tissue (which includes areolar tissue, reticular tissue, and adipose tissue) is the most common type of connective tissue in vertebrates. It holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. It also surrounds the blood vessels and nerves. Areolar tissues are present beneath the skin and serve as a support framework for epithelium. It contains fibroblast, macrophages, collagen fibres and mast cells.
