So, there's ground substance and fibers in all connective tissue, but let's not forget about the cells themselves.

所以，在所有的结缔组织中都有基本物质和纤维，但是我们别忘了细胞本身。

So loose connective tissues have fewer fibers, and more cells and more ground substance.

所以疏松的结缔组织有更少的纤维，更多的细胞和更多的基质。

This makes areolar tissue makes it great at holding the watery, salty ground substance that surrounding tissues draw from.

这使得蜂窝组织能够很好地保持周围组织从中吸收的含水和盐的基质。

But each kind of blast cell has a specialized function: namely, to secrete the ground substances and fiber that form its unique matrix.

但每种母细胞都有一种特殊的功能：即分泌形成其独特基质的基本物质和纤维。

The ground substance is flexible, because it's mostly made of big ol' starch and protein molecules mixed with water.

基本物质很有弹性，因为它主要由大的淀粉和蛋白质分子与水混合而成。

But running throughout the ground substance is another important component: fibers, which provide support and structure to the otherwise shapeless ground substance. And here, too, are lots of different types.

但是贯穿地面的是另一个重要的成分：纤维，它为原本没有形状的基质提供支撑和结构。这里也有很多不同的类型。

Perhaps your most diverse type is your classic connective tissue proper. It comes in both loose and dense subclasses, based on how many fibers it has in its ground substance.

也许你最多样化的类型是你的固有结缔组织本身。它有松散和密集的亚类，这取决于它在基质中有多少纤维。

Just as your areolar tissue is a kind of sponge for watery ground substance, your reticular tissue is what holds your blood in place in many of your organs.

就像你的蜂窝组织是一种海绵，用于水样物质，你的网状组织是在你的许多器官中保持血液的地方。

These masses are also pedunculated, meaning it's attached to a peduncle... or a stalk of tissue, and also gelatinous in consistency as a result of an abundance of ground substance on histology.

这些肿块也是带蒂的，意味着它附着于肉茎（或者一柄组织），由于组织学上的基底物质丰富，它们通常黏附在一起。

Rather than being mostly ground substance, this one is mostly cells — adipocytes — which store lipids for later use, insulate the body against heat loss, and grow pot bellies and love handles.

并非主要是基质，这个组织主要是细胞——脂肪细胞——储存脂质供以后使用，隔绝身体热量损失，并长成啤酒肚和游泳圈。
