What else can I help you with?
How do you distinguish generally between epithelium tissue and connective tissue?
There is usually more ECM than cells in connective tissue. Epithelium is a highly cellular tissue, mostly composed of cells with little matrix.
What is the name of the layer between the epithelium and connective tissue?
The layer between the epithelium and connective tissue is called the basement membrane. It is a thin, fibrous structure that provides support and anchoring for the epithelium, acting as a barrier and facilitating the exchange of nutrients and waste between the two tissue types. The basement membrane is composed of extracellular matrix components, including collagen, laminin, and glycoproteins.
What epithelium tissue is the epidermis of the skin?
The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.
What is the connective tissue found beneath all types of epithelium?
The connective tissue found beneath all types of epithelium is called the basement membrane. It provides structural support to the overlying epithelial cells and helps in anchoring them to the underlying tissues. The basement membrane also plays a role in filtration and diffusion of substances between the epithelial cells and the underlying tissues.
What tissue serves as a transitional tissue between two types of tissues?
The tissue that serves as a transitional tissue between two types of tissues is called "transitional epithelium." This specialized type of epithelium is capable of stretching and is primarily found in the urinary bladder, where it allows for the expansion and contraction of the bladder as it fills and empties. Transitional epithelium provides a barrier while also accommodating fluctuations in volume, effectively bridging the characteristics of both stratified squamous and simple cuboidal epithelium.
What tissue is your heart composed of?
Cardiac Muscle tissue =)
What are the similarities between cardiac and smooth muscle?
There are 3 types of muscle tissue: Skeletal (the muscle tissue on bones) Smooth (internal organ make-up) Cardiac (heart)
What type of tissue is cardiac tissue?
The heart is made mostly of cardiac muscle.
What tissue is the walls of the alveoli composed of?
the walls of the alveoli are very thin but strong layers of elastic tissue lines with a single layer of flattened epithelium.
What is cardiac necrosis?
Cardiac Necrosis is the death of cardiac tissue.
What is the thin non living layer that anchors epithelium to connective tissue?
Basement membrane is the thin, non-living layer that anchors epithelium to connective tissue. It provides structural support and helps regulate the movement of molecules between the epithelium and connective tissue.
What does cardiac tissue do?
Cardiac tissue makes up the muscle of the heart, hope this helped
