What connective tissue forms protective layer of eye?
Fibrous connective tissue which is the type of tissue that makes up the tendons and ligaments in your body. This connective tissue is comprised of mainly collagenous and elastic fibers.
What is tunica intima?
The tunica interna, is a thin layer only a few cells thick of a vein and artery, made up of connective tissue and elastic fibers. It is sometimes referred to as the intima membrane. It is this layer that gives smoothness to the lining of the vessel, enhancing blood flow.
What type of connective tissue is reticular made of?
blood,ligaments,tendons,bones,cartilage,areolar,adipose
Middle layer of the brain with cottony fibers?
arachnoid mater
Where is avascular tissue found in the human body?
Avascular tissue is that which does not contain blood vessels or lymphatics. Examples include: The epithelial layer of the skin, cartilage, and the cornea and lens of the eye. There are some types of connective tissue that are composed of elastic fibers that are avascular, too.
What tissue contains loose arrangement of the elastic and collagen fibers?
Reticular layerpapillary layer and reticular layerhave collagenic fibers, however most of abundant area would be the epidermis (as a whole)Unfortunately for them, but fortunately I'm here for you, the answer is Dermis. The dermis is composed of connective tissue containing mainly of collagen fibers and also elastic and reticular fibers. Also, contains connective tissue cells, blood vessels, sweat and sebaceous glands, hair follicles, nail root, nerve endings, and muscular tissues. WE WANT CORRECT ANSWERS ...(ANSWERS.COM) :)
What skin region is the site of elastic and collagen fibers?
Reticular layer
Which layer of skin is composed mainly of connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers?
The reticular layer of the dermis
What dermal layer is primarily responsible for strength of skin?
collagen fibers and resilient elastic fibers
Is sclera pleural?
No, the sclera is actually an opaque, white, fibrous layer that protects the eye. It is not a space, it contains collagen and elastic fibers.
What are some chemical properties of the Dermis?
Collagen fibers makes up 75% of the dermis, which is the inner layer of skin that protects the body from physical stress, it also contains elastic fibers, and ground substances.
Where Elastic fibers are absent in case of blood vascular system?
The capillaries are the only blood vessels without elastic tissue. This is so that the vessel walls are as thin as possible to reduce the diffusion distance (for gases and waste products). Veins do contain a layer of elastic tissue is their walls, but this is a very thin layer (when compared to arteries).
What are the different layers of the blood vessel walls called?
1.Tunica intima (Latin for innermost coat) is the innermost layer. Includes the endothelial lining and an underlying layer of connective tissue with a variable number of elastic fibers. In arteries the outer margin of the tunica intima cointains a thick layer of elastic fibers called the internal elastic membrane.2.Tunica media (Latin for middle coat) is the middle layer. Contains concentric sheets of smooth muscle tissue in a framework of loose connective tissue. The collagen fibers bind the tunica media to the tunica intima and tunica externa. Commonly the thickest layer in the wall of a small artery, the tunica media es separated from the surrounding tunica externa by a thin band of elastic fibers called external elastic membrane. The smooth muscle cells of the tunica media encircle the endothelium linning the lumen of the blood vessel. When these smooth muscles contract, the vessel decreases in diameter; when they relax, the diameter increases. Large arteries also contain layers of longitudinally arrranged smooth muscle cells.3.Tunica externa (Latin for outside coat) or tunica adventitia (Latin for coat that comes first) is theoutermost layer. Forms a connective tissue sheath. In arteries, this layer contains collagen fibers with scattered bands of elastic fibers. In veins, it is generally thicker than the tunica media and contains networks of elastic fibers and bundles of smooth muscle cells. The connective tissue fibers of the tunica externa typically blend into those of adjacent tissues, stabilizing and anchoring the blood vessel.
Why is the dermis elastic and spongy?
The dermis, the layer just below the epidermis, is made up of collagen, elastin fibers, and blood vessels. Together they make your skin spongy and plump.
What is a vessel with a thick layer of smooth muscle and elastic fibers that allow for expansion?
An artery is a vessel with a thick medial layer, consisting of smooth muscle to allow for constriction or dilation in order to control blood flow through the vessel.
Compare the strength of arterial walls and capillary walls?
arterial walls has smooth muscle and elastic fibers (strong and flexible) and capillaries are made up of a single layer of endothelial cells (thin).
What connective tissue forms protective layer of eye?
Fibrous connective tissue which is the type of tissue that makes up the tendons and ligaments in your body. This connective tissue is comprised of mainly collagenous and elastic fibers.
