Note: This page is part of the section about the structure and function of different Tissue Types, which is related to the section about Histology and Cells (incl. structure of animal cells (../Cells/Cell_Structure.php), cell division (../Cells/Cell-Division_Introduction.php), mitosis (../Cells/CellDivision_Mitosis.php), meiosis (../Cells/Cell-Division_Meiosis.php)). The tissue types section is included to complete description of the knowledge of 'Histology - The Cell' required by some courses in First-Level Anatomy and Physiology. To read about other tissue types see the list of on the left.
Animal Tissue
Areolar Tissue is a common form of loose connective tissue.

1.0 Where in the body is Areolar tissue ?
Introduction to Animal Tissues
Areolar tissue is found in many locations around the body.
Levels of complexity of the human body (/HumanBiology/Levels-ofComplexity.php) Classification of tissues (/HumanBody/Tissue/Tissue_4Tissue-Types.php)
One important area is the skin (areolar tissue is found in both the dermis and sub-cutaneous layers of the skin - see diagram (../Skin/Structure_of_Skin.php)). The areolar tissue located in the skin binds the outer layers of the skin to the muscles (../Muscles/Muscle_Structure.php) beneath. Areolar tissue is also found in or around mucous membranes, and around blood vessels (../Blood/Blood_Vessels.php), nerves (../Nerves/Neurons.php), and the organs of the body.

3.0 The Functions of Areolar tissue Areolar tissue binds skin (../Skin/Structure_of_Skin.php) to the muscles (../Muscles/Muscle_Structure.php) beneath. This loose connective tissue also forms a link between organs - while also enabling a high degree of movement between adjacent body parts. The key functions of areolar tissue can be summarised as providing: Support
