[Histonet] Histo arcania ... Reticulum vs Reticulin

[Will Chappell]

Reticulin is a type of fiber in connective tissue composed of type III collage secreted by reticular cells.

Reticulum pertains to the endoplasmic reticulum, the second chamber of the alimentary canal of a ruminant animal, or (less frequent) the plural of reticular cell.
