Adipose tissue: 1) Serves as a fat reservoir. 2) Provides shape to the limbs and the body. 3) Keeps visceral organs in position. It forms shock-absorbing cushions around kidneys and eye balls. 4) Acts as an insulator, and regulates body temperature .

What distinguishes cartilage from connective tissue proper?
Cartilage is a form of connective tissue. But unlike other connective tissues, it does not contain blood cells, causing it to grow and repair slower than connective tissues with blood cells.
What type of tissue binds and supports other tissues?
What tissue gives support to the body?
Which type of tissue binds together and supports other tissues and organs?
Connective tissue
What are tissues that bind and support other tissues called?
"connective tissue": adipose, cartilage, blood, various dense & loose connective tissues
Why would areolar tissue be considered the prototype for connective tissue proper?
All of the cell types found in other forms of connective tissue proper can be found in areolar tissue.

Do liver cells contain connective tissue?
Connective tissue is made of cells, and cells do not contain other cells (if they are healthy; bacterial infection would be an exception). Cells do contain structural elements that connect them to other cells, but that is not the same thing as connective tissue.
The connective tissue cell responsible for the synthesis and secretion of connective tissue fibers is?
Fibroblasts are the most common resident cells in ordinary connective tissue. Fibroblasts are responsible for secreting collagen and other elements of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.
