Cells live with other cells in like groups called?

Tissues. Cells with similar functions and structures come together to form tissues, which are the building blocks of organs and body structures. Examples of tissues include muscle tissue, nerve tissue, and connective tissue.


Which of the following tissues is not lined with epithelial cells?

Connective tissue is not lined with epithelial cells.


What tissues are characterized by having a great deal of space between cells secretion of matrix and origination from mesenchyme?

Connective tissues are characterized by having a great deal of space between cells, secretion of matrix, and originating from mesenchyme. Examples of connective tissues include loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood.


Are nerve tissues intercellular spaces filled with collagen?

No, nerve tissues are made up of specialized cells called neurons that transmit electrical signals. These cells are surrounded by other types of cells called glial cells that provide support and protection. Collagen is a type of protein found in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues, not in the intercellular spaces of nerve tissues.


Where are the mesenchymal cells found?

There are different forms of mesenchymal cells and tissues found almost everywhere in the body, and these tissues can be thought of, broadly, as: connective tissues, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels.Mesenchymal cells/ tissues originate from the middle embryonic germ layer (there are 3 - endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm) called the "mesoderm" and differentiate into the body's various connective tissues found in bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, muscles, skin, organs, extracellular matrix, as they also form the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.

Tissues. Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function in the body. Examples of tissues include muscle tissue, nerve tissue, and connective tissue.

Do all connective tissues arise from an embryonic tissue called mesenchyme?

Yes, most connective tissues arise from mesenchyme, an embryonic tissue. Mesenchyme gives rise to fibroblasts, which then differentiate into various types of connective tissue cells and produce the extracellular matrix. However, some specialized connective tissues like blood and lymph do not directly arise from mesenchyme.


What is the chief component of loose connective tissue?

matrix and cells. not tissues
