Relating to tissue that combines fibrous elements with small spaces or compartments (areolar).
From fibro- (fiber) + areolar (Latin areola, small space). This anatomical term describes the structure of connective tissue.
Fibroareolar tissue is like a spongy framework under your skin—the fibrous parts give it strength while the tiny spaces let it stretch and shift with your movements.
