Students have asked these similar questions
One way to distinguish between epithelium and connective tissue under the microscope is that connective tissue is more densely cellular than epithelium.
True or False
A)Identify the structure the arrow points to.
B)Give one region where you would find this structure.
KUN
Histology slide with arrow pointing to a structure seen between a gland and connective tissue.
1) adipose tissue; around organs
2) sebaceous gland; dermis of skin
3) dense irregular connective tissue ; walls of elastic arteries
4) Arrector pilorum muscle ; dermis of skin
Using a light microscope, a tissue appears as a simple squamous epithelium. Can this be a sample of the skin surface? Why or why not?
