The main types of connective tissue are Proper, supportive tissue, and fluid tissue. 
Loose connective tissue proper includes Adipose tissue, Areolar tissue, and Reticular tissue.

 

Step 2

1 Areolar tissue: Areolar tissue connects the skin to the elementary organs and loads spaces between muscles. It fibs beneath most layers of epithelium, where its many blood vessels nourish nearby epithelial cells.

2. Adipose tissue - Adipose tissue fibs beneath the skin, in areas between muscles, around kidneys, behind the eyeballs, in specific abdominal membranes, on the covering of the heart, and around specific joints. Adipose tissue support joints and some organs, as the kidneys. It also protects beneath the skin, and it stocks energy in fat molecules.
