A type of loose connective tissue, areolar
tissue 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-like
extracellular matrix containing many collagenous
and elastic fibers that fibroblasts secrete.
Areolar
tissue 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.

What type of epithelial tissue forms the dermis of the skin?
There are 2 regions of the dermis. The superficial layer is made of areolar connective tissue and the deeper layer is made of dense irregular connective tissue.
What is the dermis composed mainly of what tissue?
The dermis is one of two layers that make up the skin (the other being the epidermis, which lies on top). The dermis is composed of two layers: the papillary layer and the reticular layer. The papillary layer is composed of areolar tissue and the reticular layer is composed of dense irregular connective tissue.
Which layer of the basement membrane of epithelial tissues is produced and secreted by cells of the underlying connective tissue?
Dense fibrous connective tissue i think The correct answer would be: Areolar Connective Tissue--Gel like matrix with all three fiber types.
Areolar connective tissue layer located deep to the mucosa?
submucosa
A serous membrane is composed of a layer of simple squamous epithelium resting on a thin layer of areolar connective tissue?
Yes
Is the dermis an avascular connective tissue layer?
The papillary layer of the dermis is made up of areolar connective tissue.
What special qualities does the connective tissue of the dermis have?
The dermis is the second layer of the skin. The dermis is made up of dense irregular (fibrous) connective tissue. Dermis consists of both elastin and collagen, it gets more heavily compsed of collagen as it goes deeper however.Dense irregular connective tissueyes Areolar
What type of epithelial tissue forms the dermis of the skin?
There are 2 regions of the dermis. The superficial layer is made of areolar connective tissue and the deeper layer is made of dense irregular connective tissue.
What is dermis tissue?
The dermis is the deep layer of the skin - just below the epidermis. The dermis is made up of two types of connective tissue: the superficial layer of the dermis is areolar CT and the deep layer of the dermis is dense irregular CT.
What makes up the papillary layer of the dermis?
"more superficial layer of dermis; composed of areolar connective tissue; contais dermal papillae" "Human Anatomy" 2nd editionDense, irregular connective tissue
Does the papillary layer consist of areolar connective tissue?
Yes, the papillary layer of the skin consists of areolar connective tissue.
Fibrous connective tissue overlying loose connective tissue is?
The deeper part of the dermis of the skin. Basically, this part of the dermis has dense or fibrous irregular conective tissue, which provides strength to the skin. Below this tissue there is loose connective tissue (areolar connective tissue and adipose tissue) that are part of the subcutaneous layer of the skin. As you know, the dermis is part of the cutaneous membrane.

What part of the skin is made mostly by of connective tissue?
The subcutaneous layer of skin is the layer which is formed of connective tissue.

Thicker layer of skin composed of connective tissue?
Dermis. :D
Areolar connective tissue layer located deep to the mucosa?
