The dura mater or dura, is the outermost of the three layers of the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The other two meningeal layers are the pia mater and the arachnoid mater.

loose connective tissue lacks the massive fibrous reinforcement that characterizes dense connective tissue. Nevertheless, the same types of fibers are still found, although fewer and more delicate. S.A
The features that all connective tissues share in common isFibroblasts. Fibroblasts are typically responsible for the formation of the acellular matrix.Connective tissues that have this common trait include bone and cartilage, but exclude blood (which meets all the connective tissue criteria) and loose connective tissue.^True, but I think what he's looking for is this:o Common origin - all arise from mesenchyme (an embryonic tissue)o Degrees of vascularity - cartilage = avascular, dense connective tissue = poorly vasculated,o Extracellular matrix - comprised of nonliving extracellular matrix
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.
Within a nerve, each fiber is surrounded by a delicate connective tissue sheath called an endoneurium, which insulates it from the other neuron processes adjacent to it. The endoneurium is often mistaken for the myelin sheath; it is instead an additional sheath that surrounds the myelin sheath.

Areolar tissue which is a loose connective tissue.
The delicate connective tissue that surrounds the skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together is the endomysium.

two types of connective tissue coverings - bony vertebrae and tough, connective tissue meninges - plus a cushion of cerebrospinal fluid surround and protect the delicate nervous tissue of the spinal cord.
Cartilage is softer and more delicate than bone, but it is still a tough and durable connective tissue. Cartilage can generally be cut with a knife, unlike bone which is very resistant to knife cut, but you generally cannot peel or pick at cartilage to get small pieces off.
Leggiero (It.) translates to any of the following: swift, light, delicate
The superlative of "delicate" is "most delicate." It is used to show that something is the most delicate or sensitive out of a group.
a bursasolitary bone cyst a pathologic bone space in the metaphyses of long bones of growing children; it may be either empty or filled with fluid and have a delicate connective tissue lining.
