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.

Delicate connective tissue that surrounds the sarcolemma?

Endomysium is the delicate connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers (cells) within a muscle. It provides support and protection to the muscle fibers.


What are the structural and functional differences between dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues?

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


What layer of the dermis has areolar connective tissue?

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.


Where is location of epineurium?

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.


What are the 3 parts common to all connective tissues?

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

Describe the protective structures and the gross anatomical features of the spinal cord?

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.


What tissue forms the delicate membranes of the body and fills spaces in muscles?

The tissue that forms the delicate membranes of the body and fills spaces in muscles is called connective tissue, particularly loose connective tissue. This type of tissue provides support, elasticity, and cushioning, allowing for the proper functioning of organs and muscles. It includes structures like areolar tissue, which helps bind organs together and provides a framework for blood vessels and nerves.


Is cartilage soft and delicate?

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.
