Reticular connective tissue is a type of connective tissue.^[1] It has a network of reticular fibers, made of type III collagen.^[2] Reticular fibers are not unique to reticular connective tissue, but only in this type are they dominant.^[3]

Reticular fibers are synthesized by special fibroblasts called reticular cells. The fibers are thin branching structures.

Location[edit]

Reticular connective tissue is found around the liver, the kidney, the spleen, and lymph nodes, as well as in bone marrow.^[4]

Function[edit]

The fibers form a soft skeleton (stroma) to support the lymphoid organs (lymph node stromal cells, red bone marrow, and spleen).

Adipose tissue is held together by reticular fibers.

Staining[edit]

They can be identified in histology by staining with a heavy metal like silver or the PAS stain that stains carbohydrates.

Appearance[edit]

Reticular connective tissue resembles areolar connective tissue, but the only fibers in its matrix are reticular fibers, which form a delicate network along which fibroblasts called reticular cells lie scattered. Although reticular fibers are widely distributed in the body, reticular tissue is limited to certain sites. It forms a labyrinth-like stroma (literally, "bed or "mattress"), or internal framework, that can support many free blood cells (large lymphocytes) in lymph nodes, the spleen, and red bone marrow.

Classification[edit]

There are more than 20 types of reticular fibers. In Reticular Connective Tissue type III collagen/reticular fiber (100-150 nm in diameter) is the major fiber component. It forms the architectural framework of: liver, adipose tissue, bone marrow, spleen and basement membrane, to name a few.
