Question

Fibroblasts, macrophages and mast cells are present in

• A. Cartilage tissue
• B. Adipose tissue
• C. Areolar tissue
• D. Glandular epithelium

Answer 1

The correct option is C Areolar tissue

1. Cartilage is made up of specialized cells called chondrocytes. These chondrocytes produce large amounts of extracellular matrix composed of collagen fibers, proteoglycan, and elastin fibers.
   
2. Adipose tissue is loose connective tissue composed of fat cells known as adipocytes. Adipocytes contain lipid droplets of stored triglycerides.
   
3. The different kinds of cells present in areolar connective tissue are macrophages, mast cells, adipocytes, fibroblasts and plasma cells.
4. Glandular epithelium covers the endocrine and exocrine glands of the body. The main function is secretion.

So, the correct option is 'Areolar Tissue'.
