Question

which statement is true? adipose tissue is mainly composed of reticular cells. areolar connective tissue is a type of dense connective tissue. dense regular and dense irregular connective tissue withstand tension due to the abundance of collagen fibers. reticular fibers allow for a tissue to stretch and recoil.

Explanation:

Adipose tissue is mainly composed of adipocytes, not reticular cells. Areolar connective tissue is loose connective tissue, not dense connective tissue. Reticular fibers provide a supportive framework rather than allowing stretch - recoil. Dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues have abundant collagen fibers which enable them to withstand tension.

Answer:

Dense regular and dense irregular connective tissue withstand tension due to the abundance of collagen fibers.
