What else can I help you with?
What is the outermost layer tough fibrous connective tissue called in the meninges of the brain?
Collagenous fibers are the tough fibers of connective tissue.
What is another name for fibrous connective tissue found in simple cuboidal epithelium?
Basement membrane is another name for the fibrous connective tissue found in simple cuboidal epithelium. It provides structural support and helps anchor the epithelial cells to the underlying connective tissue.
What is the function of the dense connective tissue?
Dense connective tissue provides strength and support to various structures in the body. It is composed of densely packed collagen fibers that help resist tension and stretching forces, making it ideal for forming tendons, ligaments, and the dermis of the skin.
Which are the anisotropic and isotropic bands in muscles?
In muscles, the anisotropic bands are the A bands, which contain both thick and thin filaments and give muscles their striated appearance. The isotropic bands are the I bands, which contain only thin filaments and appear lighter under a microscope.
What is the function of the connective tissue wrappings in a nerve?
Peripheral nerve axons and their supporting Schwann cells are held together by connective tissue forming nerve fibers. The connective tissue of nerves has three distinct components - endoneurium, perineurium, and epineurium. Endoneurium is a thin layer of connective tissue associated with individual axons. Perineurium surrounds small groups of axons (each wrapped in endoneurium) called fascicles that conduct similar types of information or arise from a specific anatomic region of the body. The epineurium is a layer of dense connective tissue that surrounds and binds together many nerve fascicles into a common bundle.Central nervous system - The brain and spinal cord are enclosed within three sequential connective tissue membranes called meninges. The innermost layer resting directly on the surface of the brain and spinal cord is called the pia mater. The outermost layer is a relatively thick sheet of dense connective tissue called the dura mater. The delicate arachnoid mater is attached to the inner surface of the dura and extends to the pia mater on the surface of the brain and spinal cord. The loose organization of the arachnoid produces a space containing cerebrospinal fluid called the subarachnoid space. Cerebral vessels course through the subarachnoid space.
What is the connective tissue covering of the kidney?
Each kidney is held in place by connective tissue, called renal fascia, and is surrounded by a thick layer of adipose tissue, called perirenal fat, which helps to protect it. A tough, fibrous, connective tissue renal capsule closely envelopes each kidney and provides support for the soft tissue that is inside.
What is the outermost layer tough fibrous connective tissue called in the meninges of the brain?
Collagenous fibers are the tough fibers of connective tissue.
What is the plantar?
The plantar fascia is the thick connective tissue which supports the arch of the foot
What is thick smooth layer of tissue that covers the ends of the bones?
cartilage :{D
What is the name of the structure that holds to different bones together.?
Ligaments hold your bones together. Ligaments are thick fibrous bands of connective tissue that will hold bones, cartilage or other structures together.
These kind of muscles are atached to bones by thick band of tissue called?
Muscles are connected to bones by strong connective tissue called ligaments.
What do you call the thick bands that pull on bones as a muscle contracts?
Those are called tendons. Tendons are tough bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones, allowing the muscles to pull on the bones and create movement.
What is another name for fibrous connective tissue found in simple cuboidal epithelium?
Basement membrane is another name for the fibrous connective tissue found in simple cuboidal epithelium. It provides structural support and helps anchor the epithelial cells to the underlying connective tissue.
What is the outside layer of the skin called thin tissue or thick tissue?
Epithelial tissue
What is the wall of a artery called?
Walls of arteries are made up of different cells, muscle, and connective tissue and is very thick. The walls have to be thick because the pressure from the blood is so great that without the thickness, the walls would easily rupture, which would be fatal.
What is the epineurium of the fibrous sheath?
The epineurium is the outermost layer of connective tissue surrounding a nerve. In the case of the fibrous sheath, the epineurium refers to the thick layer of dense connective tissue that surrounds and protects the entire nerve bundle, providing structural support and protection.
What is the thick tissue called that attaches muscle to the bone?
TENDON
