Students have asked these similar questions
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
Why is blood considered to be the most unusual type of connective tissue?
Why do you think epithelial tissue does not contain any blood vessels? Can you think of any epithelial function that could be compromised if blood vessels were running through the tissue?
