What layer of skin has adipose connective tissue and large blood vessels?

Working from the outermost layer, the epidermis has no blood supply. The Dermis contains 2 main layers (plexi) of blood vessels, which can be referred to as the superficial dermal plexus and deep dermal plexus.
More detail: The dermis can be split up into two layers, the papillary dermis and reticular dermis. One vascular plexus is situated in each. The superficial vascular plexus lies in the papillary dermis and is made mostly of capillaries. Capillary loops extend upwards towards (but not into) the epidermis and supply it with nutrients etc. The deep vascular plexus lies within the reticular dermis and is made mostly of venules, which drain the blood away from the skin back towards the heart.
Larger vessels like veins and arteries are found in the subdermis a.k.a. subcutaneous layer and deeper (e.g. muscle).

What would be an example of liquid connective tissue?
Connective tissues are based on fibrous proteins, and include bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and adipose tissue (stores fat). Blood and lymph are generally classified as "fluid connective tissue" although they do not have a fixed structure and are normally constrained by epithelial cells, such as those lining the blood vessels.
What type of connective tissue allows organs to expand?
Loose connective tissue.1. Supports skin2. Organ expansion. (ex. heart, lungs, blood vessels, bladder.)3. Store fat (Adipose tissue)-Ex. To insulate, store energy, and protect. (Around kidneys, the heart, and underskin.)
Why are adipose blood and bones all considered to be connective tissues?
All connective tissue arise from mesenchyme, meaning they all come from a common origin.
How would you classify blood?
connective tissue
What tissue has good blood supply and an extensive extracellular matrix?
connective tissue
Nerve cells and blood vessels are surrounded and supported by?
This is known as areolar tissue. It is specialized to help keep the organs, nerves, and blood vessels working well and keep them protected.
What features distinguish adipose tissue from other connective tissue?
No blood cells- avascular
What tissue Flows through the heart and blood vessels?
Connective tissue flows through the heart and blood vessels.
Hardest and most solid type of connective tissue?
Bone is the most rigid and dense of the connective tissues.
What is an example of connective tissue?
Examples of connective tissues include bone, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and adipose (fat) tissue.
What type of tissue are blood vessels composed of?
connective tissue
What is the fluid connective tissue that flows in blood vessels?
blood
What are tissues that bind and support other tissues called?
"connective tissue": adipose, cartilage, blood, various dense & loose connective tissues
Which best describes the components of a nerve?
axons, blood vessels, connective tissue, Schwann cell.
Which bestdescribes thecomponents ofa nerve?
axons, blood vessels, connective tissue, Schwann cell.
What does the epidermis lack?
blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and connective tissue
What tissues make up the hypodermis?
The hypodermis, or subcutaneous tissues, is primarily made up of loose connective tissue and fat. It can also contain blood vessels.
