What structure contains venous blood?
Veins are floppy tubes that transport blood toward the heart.The outer layer of veins is a thick sleeve of connective tissue called the tunica adventitia or tunica externa.The tunica media or middle layer of veins is made of smooth muscle, though this smooth muscle doesn't really flex, contract, or move around like most muscle.The inside surface of veins is called the tunica intima and is made of endothelial cells.All along veins can be found valves, which serve to ensure that blood moves in one direction (toward the heart) instead of sloshing backwards.
Does the tunica albuginea cover epididymis?
No, it possesses its own connective tissue capsule.
The is squamous epithelium supported by a sparse connective tissue layer?
The squamous epithelium is likely to be simple squamous epithelium, which is supported by a basement membrane composed of a sparse connective tissue layer called the basal lamina. This connective tissue layer provides structural support and nutrients to the overlying epithelial cells.
What part of an arterial wall is largely composed of connective tissue?
most of the stomachs villi has alot of connective tissue, that is where there is the most concentration.
