What is another name for Loose Connective tissue?
Loose connective tissue has irregular arrangements of fibers and a lot of ground substance. It is similar to packaging material. It is also called areolar tissue.
What bone regions are united by fibrous connective tissue?
There is no fibrous connective tissue in bone, but there is dense irregular tissue known as periosteum that covers bones (all except the articulating surfaces) and provides attachment sites for tendons and ligaments.
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
The connective tissue cell responsible for the synthesis and secretion of connective tissue fibers is?
Fibroblasts are the most common resident cells in ordinary connective tissue. Fibroblasts are responsible for secreting collagen and other elements of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.

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 is the connective tissue found beneath all types of epithelium?
The basal lamina, also known as the "basement membrane," connects the epithelium to the underlying connective tissue.
What binds skin to underlying organs?

What Part of the hair in the dermis and hypodermis?
the hair root is in the dermis and the actually hair is on the epidermis
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.
What type of tissue is adipose?
Adipose tissue is body fat, a loose connective tissue that stores lipids (fats) and also functions in the endocrine system by secreting hormones.
What is the supportive connective tissue of an organ?
Areolar (or loose) connective tissue holds organs and epithelia in place, and has a variety of proteinaceous fibres, including collagen and elastin. It is also important in inflammation.
What bone regions are united by fibrous connective tissue?
There is no fibrous connective tissue in bone, but there is dense irregular tissue known as periosteum that covers bones (all except the articulating surfaces) and provides attachment sites for tendons and ligaments.
Inflammation of connective tissue is called?
Inflammation of the fibrous connective tissue in a joint commonly called rheumatism is also known as "arthritis" . Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the many diseases that are connected with this problem.
What type of connective tissue have lacunae?
Bone and Cartilage are two types of connective tissue in the skeletal system. There is also dense fibrous tissue (in periosteum and joint capsules mainly) Ligaments and cartilage are also two types of connective tissue in the skeletal system.
