Line the rack with a layer of cheesecloth before setting the figs on top, cut side up. 1  Don't try to dry the figs on a solid sheet. 2  In order to dry properly, they need airflow from below and above. 3  Use a double layer of cheesecloth if you have a rack with very large holes.

Connective tissue can be found either con-necting, supporting, or surrounding other tissue types. The types of connective tissue that you will observe include
Connective tissue is composed primarily of two elements: cells and a matrix. The types of cells found in connective tissue vary depending on the type of tissue they support. For example, red and white blood cells are found in blood, which is a fluid connective tissue.Adipocytes are fat cells found in adipose tissue, or fat. And fibroblasts are cells found in large quantities in many different types of connective tissues.reolar and reticular tissue are types of loose connective tissue that provide support, as well as fill up unused spaces in the body. Blood, a fluid connective tissue, provides a transport system within our body for oxygen and other important substances.
