1. Cells and tissues close up

2. Red blood cells travelling through an artery
Each red blood cell contains around 300 million haemoglobin molecules, each of which can carry 4 oxygen molecules for delivery to the cells. Notice the folded structure of the artery wall and surrounding tissue, allowing it to expand, and absorb changes in flow pressure.

Thick pink bands are collagen, while the thin dark threads are elastin.

10. Loose, or areolar, connective tissue.
This is the most widespread and abundant type of tissue in the human body.  Its function is primarily to support, anchor and connect various parts of the body.  Although connective tissue exists in a number of forms, all types have three basic structural elements -- cells, fibres and intercellular substance (ground substance).  
                        The most common cell types are fibroblasts, which produce fibres and other intercellular materials. The two most common types of fibres are: collagen (collagenous) and elastic. Collagen fibres are for strength while the elastic ones are for elasticity of the tissue. Both the cells and the fibres are embedded in the intercellular substance.  The consistency of this substance is highly variable from gelatin-like to a much more rigid material.
            The proportions of the cells, fibres, and intercellular substance vary, depending on a particular nature and function of the connective tissue. For example, a strong connective tissue needs a greater proportion of the collagen fibres and fewer cells. An example would be a dense regular connective tissue, which is found in tendons and ligaments. On the other hand, a connective tissue composed of mostly cells would not be very strong. An example would be an adipose (fat) connective tissue.
