Areolar tissue has a mix of several cell types and several fiber types. It is found throughout the body, escpecially between organs and parts of organs. At higher magnification collagen fibers can be distinguished because they are wide, pink and usually wavy. The other fibers that are visible are elastic fibers, which are straight and thinner than collagen fibers. Most of the visible nuclei probably represent fibroblasts. There are also visible mast cells on these slides.
