Loose connective tissue
In loose connective tissue, the collagen fibers are thin, delicate and have no organized arrangement, thus giving this tissue the classification “loose.” In addition, loose connective tissue is highly cellular and the population of cells is diverse. This image also shows an adjacent region of dense irregular connective tissue for comparison. 400x
