What else can I help you with?
Tissue that has a supportive function in an organ or tissue is called?
Connective tissue functions in both support and structure.
What kind of tissue bone?
Bone cells are called osteocytes, and the matrix of the bone is made of calcium salts and collagen. Bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body.
Which is a soft flexible supportive tissue that is replaced by none during ossification?
cartilage
What connective tissue contains fluid and lacks fibers?
The connective tissue that contains fluid and lacks fibers is called loose connective tissue. This tissue is found throughout the body and acts as a supportive framework for organs and blood vessels while allowing for movement and flexibility. Examples include areolar and adipose tissue.
Are the lungs made up of thick fibrous tissue?
No, the lungs are primarily made up of spongy, elastic tissue called alveoli, which are surrounded by thin walls that allow for gas exchange. The fibrous tissue in the lungs is mainly found in the supportive structures that help maintain the shape and function of the lungs.
Where can you find the connective and supportive tissue?
Bone, cartilage, tendons, dermis, blood, lymph
What soft flexible supportive tissue that is replaced by bone during ossification?
cartilage is replaced
What is an albuminoid?
An albuminoid is a simple protein of a subclass derived from animal connective or supportive tissue.
What is the supportive connective tissue of an organ?
The supportive connective tissue of an organ is called the stroma. It provides structural support to the organ and helps maintain its shape and integrity. The stroma also contains blood vessels, nerves, and other cell types that support the function of the organ.
What is fat storing tissue called?
That tissue is called as adipose tissue.
Why are certain types of connective tissue called support tissues?
Certain types of connective tissue called support tissues. The support tissue is cartilage and bone. It is called support tissue because it supports the muscles of the body and gives the whole body a frame.
What do you call the bottom layer attached to connective tissue?
The bottom layer attached to connective tissue is called the basement membrane. It serves as a supportive layer that anchors epithelial tissues to the underlying connective tissue, providing structural support and playing a role in filtration and tissue regeneration. The basement membrane consists of a thin sheet of extracellular matrix, primarily composed of collagen and glycoproteins.
