The tissue that attaches the integument to the underlying musculature is called the subcutaneous tissue, also known as the hypodermis or superficial fascia. This layer consists of adipose tissue and connective tissue that provides support and connection between the skin and muscles. It also helps regulate temperature and store energy.

What is the connective tissue found beneath all types of epithelium?

The connective tissue found beneath all types of epithelium is called the basement membrane. It provides structural support to the overlying epithelial cells and helps in anchoring them to the underlying tissues. The basement membrane also plays a role in filtration and diffusion of substances between the epithelial cells and the underlying tissues.


What covers and protects tissue?

Epithelial tissue covers and protects underlying tissue.


Binds epithelial tissue to underlining tissues?

The basement membrane binds epithelial tissue to underlying connective tissue. It provides structural support, filtration, and helps regulate the exchange of molecules between the epithelial cells and the underlying tissues.


What separate the dermis from underlying tissue?

The dermis is separated from the underlying tissue, primarily subcutaneous fat (hypodermis), by a layer of connective tissue. This layer contains collagen and elastin fibers, providing structural support and elasticity. Additionally, the subcutaneous layer serves as insulation and energy storage, while anchoring the dermis to underlying structures like muscles and bones. This separation allows for flexibility and movement of the skin over underlying tissues.


What is a covering tissue?

A covering tissue is a type of tissue that protects and covers various structures in the body. Examples include epithelial tissue that covers organs and surfaces, connective tissue that provides structural support, and the skin which acts as a protective barrier for the body.
