What else can I help you with?
Are breasts muscles?
It contains some fat, but is mainly constructed of the mammary glands and connective tissue.
Which layer of the alimentary canal contains loose connective tissue glands and lymphatic vessels and nerves?
The submucosa layer of the alimentary canal contains loose connective tissue, glands, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. This layer supports the mucosa and helps to transport absorbed nutrients from the digestive tract.
What types of tissues make up the dermis?
The dermis is made up of connective tissue, such as collagen and elastin fibers, as well as blood vessels, nerves, and hair follicles. It also contains sebaceous (oil) glands and sweat glands.
The tissue that forms endocrine and exocrine glands?
Of the four types of tissues- muscular, epithelial, nervous and connective- endocrine and exocrine glands are formed from epithelial tissue.
What is the fibrous tissue that covers muscles?
connective tissue
What tissue forms delicate thin layers between muscles?
Areolar tissue which is a loose connective tissue.
Are sweat glands formed by connective tissue?
No, sweat glands are formed by epithelial tissue. Sweat glands are tubular structures located in the dermis layer of the skin and are responsible for producing sweat. Connective tissue provides structural support and framework for the skin, but it does not form sweat glands.
Which connective tissue is membranous and holds your skin to your muscles?
There is no connective tissue that holds muscles to the skin. That would be dysfunctional because you would have very limited motion. There is, however, connective tissue between the muscles and the skin, but they are loose and do not bind one to the other. The tissue between the skin and the muscles is called superficial fasia.
What is the function on the connective tissue in the mammary glands?
Support and moulding.
Does areolar connective tissue contain collagen fibers?
Yes, areolar connective tissue contains collagen fibers, along with elastic and reticular fibers. Collagen fibers provide strength and structure to the tissue, contributing to its elasticity and flexibility.
What is the supporting layer for the skin that contains adipose tissue and loose connective tissue?
The layer you are referring to is the subcutaneous tissue, also known as the hypodermis or superficial fascia. This layer contains adipose tissue (fat cells) and loose connective tissue that connects the skin to the underlying muscles and bones, providing insulation and cushioning for the body.
What type of connective tissue prevents muscles from pulling away from the bones during contraction?
Dense connective tissue - it makes up the tendons.
