Type of connective tissue that binds skin to underlying muscle?
epithelium tissue
Superficial fascia contains which tissue?
areolar connective tissue
What is the most obvious structural feature of areolar connective tissue?
The most obvious structural feature of areolar connective tissue is its loose arrangement of collagen and elastic fibers. This gives the tissue its "cobweb-like" appearance and provides flexibility and support to surrounding structures. Additionally, areolar connective tissue contains numerous cells, including fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing and maintaining the extracellular matrix.
What binds skin to underlying organs?
Loose connective tissue binds skin to underlying organs. It forms thin membranes throughout the body and is also known as areolar tissue.
What organ contains areolar tissue?
Areolar tissue is widespread. it is found in the skin, glands, in the organs of the respiratory and digestive systems, and in the serous membrane that surrounds the lungs and intestines.
Does areolar connective tissue contain collagen fibers?
Yes, areolar tissue binds organs together. It also makes up the supporting structure of glands.
What are the functions of areolar tissue?
Fat-storing adipose tissue is found below the skin and between the internal organs.The cells of this tissues are filled with fat globules. Storage of fats also lets it act as an insulator .attaches muscles to bones or muscles. Attaches bone to bone
Lymphoid organs contain structures both diffusely arranged and dense tissue a. reticular b. collagen c. areolar d. adipose?
reticular
What kind of connective tissue acts as a sponge?
Areolar Connective
Is mast cells found in areolar tissues?
Yes, mast cells are found in areolar tissues.
Is areolar tissue a connective tissue?
Yes, areolar tissue is a type of connective tissue.
What layer of the dermis has areolar connective tissue?
A type of loose connective tissue, areolartissue forms delicate, thin membranes throughout the body. The cells of this tissue, mainly fibroblasts, are located some distance apart and are separate by a gel-likeextracellular matrix containing many collagenousand elastic fibers that fibroblasts secrete.Areolartissue also binds the skin to the underlying organs and fills spaces between muscles. It lies beneath most layers of epithelium, where its many blood vessels nourish epithelial cells.
