volume displacing the nuclei; tissue is vascularized; functions as

displaced nucleus, vascularized, and acts as a cushion for organs

fibers which composed the ECM and is found in the spleen, bone
marrow, liver tissue, and sinusoids; reticular fibers form a stroma
which functions to support the lymphatic organs

vascularized; found at core of tendons and ligaments
