What is the connective tissue found beneath all types of epithelium?
The basal lamina, also known as the "basement membrane," connects the epithelium to the underlying connective tissue.
Type of connective tissue that binds skin to underlying muscle?
epithelium tissue
How do epithelial tissues receive nutrients?
Nutrients diffuse to epithelium from underlying connective tissues, which have abundant blood vessels.
How does epithelium obtain nutrients and oxygen and get rid of wastes?
Through diffusion from underlying connective tissue which have abundant blood vessels.
Where is connective tissues located?
Loose connective tissue is found beneath epithelial membranes and glandular epithelium. The function of the loose connective tissue attaches to the epithelium to underlying tissues and allow for diffusion of nutrients to epithelial cells.
What tissues make up the bladder?
Pseudostratified. The bladder is the only organ with that type of tissue. The answer above is wrong! the urinary bladder is composed of transitional epithelium with an underlying connective tissue. the transitional epithelium allows the bladder t expand in order to fill it with urine and relax when urine is released.
What cell tissue may absorb and or secrete substances?
Connective tissue
How do you distinguish generally between epithelium tissue and connective tissue?
There is usually more ECM than cells in connective tissue. Epithelium is a highly cellular tissue, mostly composed of cells with little matrix.
Does epithelial tissue contain blood cells?
Yes! avascular means without blood vessels.
What is the basis of biologist to classify a specific epithelial tissue?
Epithelia are tissues consisting of closely apposed cells without intervening intercellular substances. Epithelia are avascular, but all epithelia "grow" on an underlying layer of vascular connective tissue. The connective tissue and the epithelium are separated by a basement membrane. Epithelium covers all free surfaces of the body. Epithelium also lines the large internal body cavities, where it is termed mesothelium.
What tissue that is avascular and is nourished from the underlying connective tissue?
Epithlial Tissue
The is squamous epithelium supported by a sparse connective tissue layer?
Squamous epithelium supported by sparse connective tissue is called a membrane.
