The deeper part of the dermis of the skin.
Basically, this part of the dermis has dense or fibrous irregular conective tissue, which provides strength to the skin. Below this tissue there is loose connective tissue (areolar connective tissue and adipose tissue) that are part of the subcutaneous layer of the skin.
As you know, the dermis is part of the cutaneous membrane.
What else can I help you with?
How do loose and connective tissue differ?
Loose Connective Tissue consists of a lot of ground substance and it has all 3 types of protein fibers. Dense Connective Tissue on the other hand has little ground substance, few cells, and although it has most protein fibers it mainly consists of collagen fibers.
What type of connective tissue make up the papillary layer of the skin?
The papillary layer of the skin is made up of loose connective tissue. This type of connective tissue is less dense and contains collagen and elastic fibers that help support the overlying epidermis, as well as blood vessels and nerves.
Tendons are composed of what tissue?
There are many types of connective tissues. They all have a matrix of extracellular material and they all have cells that excrete the matrix. Tendons and ligaments are dense connective tissues, loose connective tissue tends to be found around organs. Blood and bone are also considered connective tissues.
Does loose connective tissue contain chondrocytes?
No, loose connective tissue does not contain chondrocytes. Chondrocytes are specialized cells found in cartilage tissue, not in loose connective tissue. Loose connective tissue primarily consists of collagen and elastin fibers, along with various cells such as fibroblasts and macrophages.
What kind of tissues make up your skin?
The tissue that makes up most of your skin is Epithelial tissue.
Which one of the four major types of membranes consists of fibrous connective tissue overlying loose connective tissue?
The synovial membrane consists of fibrous connective tissue overlying loose connective tissue. It lines joint cavities and produces synovial fluid to lubricate and cushion the joint surfaces.
Tissue that provides support and connects body parts?
The group of tissue with the two types, soft and hard tissue, is connective tissue. Loose connective tissue and fibrous connective tissue hold your body parts together.
How do loose and connective tissue differ?
Loose Connective Tissue consists of a lot of ground substance and it has all 3 types of protein fibers. Dense Connective Tissue on the other hand has little ground substance, few cells, and although it has most protein fibers it mainly consists of collagen fibers.
What layer of the epidermis contains protein fibres?
No, there is not dense connective tissue in the epidermis. There is loose connective tissue right below the epidermis (areolar connective tissue).
What is the connective tissue that holds organs together?
The internal organs are held in place by the messentaries and the greater and lesser omentums.
What type of tissue makes up of the integumentary system?
The epidermis consists of stratified squamous epithelium. The dermis consists of fibrous connective tissue. The hypodermis consists of loose connective tissue and adipose tissue.
What is a connectve tissue?
Connective tissue, as it names suggests, has a 'connective' function. It supports and binds tissues in the body. There are three types of connective tissue. 1. Loose - most common. Collagen, elastic, reticular fibres. 2. Dense (or fibrous) - tendons and ligaments 3. Specialised - e.g. adipose (fat) tissue is a type of specialised loose connective tissue.
Is collagen and connective tissue the same?
Technically they are the same. Fibrous connective tissue is basically any kind of connective tissue different than adipose and areolar. The fibrous connective tissue has more fibroblast and collagen fiber (a characteristic of dense connective tissue) but no much of elastic fibers (which is the histological difference with cartilage). Of course, we have to exclude blood, lymph and bones from the fibrous tissues because they are specialized connective tissue and have totally different characteristics than dense and loose connective tissue.
What types of connective tissue fill in the spaces?
the extracellular matrix. It contains a gel-like ground substance and protein fibers. connective tissues have a lot of extracellular matrix compared to epithelial tissues that have very little.
What type of connective tissue make up the papillary layer of the skin?
The papillary layer of the skin is made up of loose connective tissue. This type of connective tissue is less dense and contains collagen and elastic fibers that help support the overlying epidermis, as well as blood vessels and nerves.
Tendons are composed of what tissue?
There are many types of connective tissues. They all have a matrix of extracellular material and they all have cells that excrete the matrix. Tendons and ligaments are dense connective tissues, loose connective tissue tends to be found around organs. Blood and bone are also considered connective tissues.
Is blood considered to be loose connective tissue or circulating connective tissue?
Circulating
