Name the different types of cells found in areolar tissue and state their function.

1 Answer

Answer :

Fibroblasts: They are large, flat, highly branched. They secrete and maintain fibres.

Plasma cells: They are oval in shape and have small nucleus. They produce antibodies.

Macrophages: They are amoeboid in shape. They defend against micro-organisms. They

ingest the micro-organisms.

Mast cells: They are large cells having a spherical nucleus with granular cytoplasm. They

are associated with secretion of substances like serotonin, heparin and histamine.
