Thetunica intima(also called the tunica interna) is composed of epithelial and connective tissue layers. Lining the tunica intima is the specialized simple squamous epithelium called the endothelium, which is continuous throughout the entire vascular system, including the lining of the chambers of th...
The connective tissue can be found everywhere in the body. The connective tissue mainly consists of blood, bones, and areolar tissue. Blood Blood is a fluid connective tissue. It consists of a liquid matrix called the plasma, in which blood cells are present. So it can be said blood is ...
CONNECTIVE TISSUE STRUCTURE, FUNCTION AND INFLUENCE ON MEAT QUALITY R.G.Taylor, inEncyclopedia of Meat Sciences, 2004 Blood Vessels Worth mentioning is that allblood vesselsare rich in connective tissue proteins, and that vessel content is variable by muscle and fibre type. Variability of large ves...
Monocytes are agranulocytes that are the largest of all white blood cells, some of which also act as precursor cells of macrophages, osteoclasts, microglia, and other cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system in connective tissue. Circulating monocytes have diameters of 12-15 μm, but macrophages...
Discuss their structure and function.Blood vessels are of three types: arteries, capillaries,and veins.Arteries transport blood away from the heart. Theyhave think walls composed of an inner endothelium layer(tunica internal), an outer connective tissue layer (tunicaexternal), and also a thick ...
connective tissue structure, the axillary sheath, which has some highly mobile adjacent tissue planes, particularly so in relation to the anterior and posterior walls of the axilla. Given this relationship and the tendencies and formation of thevascular systemnoted earlier, it has been predicted and...
The capillaries however are quite simple in structure. These vessels are very thin to enable gas exchange – it is usually just a single endothelial cell layer in thickness (similar to the intima), lacks a media layer and there may be some supporting connective tissue. ...
Bloodis the life-giving fluid that delivers oxygen to thecellsof the body. It is a specialized type ofconnective tissuethat consists of red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells suspended in a liquid plasma matrix. These are the basics, but there are many more surprising facts as we...
