Accepted Answer

Reticular tissue is a type of loose connective tissue that forms a mesh-like network and provides a supporting framework for the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. This tissue is made up of reticular fibers, fibroblasts, and leukocytes. The reticular fibers are thin and branching and form a delicate network that helps to support the various organs and tissues.
