Question

Dense Irregular Connective Tissue 1 Examine a slide of thick skin under low power. In Activity 5.1, you observed the epidermis. Locate this layer again and identify the type of epithelium. 2 Directly below the epidermis is the dermis of the skin. The deep region of the dermis is composed of dense irregular connective tissue. This type of connective tissue consists mostly of collagen fibers, although elastic and reticular fibers are also present. How does the arrangement of the fibers in this tissue differ from the arrangement of collagen fibers in dense regular connective tissue? Elastic Tissue lostic tissue contains a large amount of

Answer 1

Qno1 ans

The type of epithelium which is found in layer of skin under low power microscope is stratified squamous epithelium.

Stratified squamous epithelium is a multilayer outermost flattened cells covers most of the surfaces of skin that are subjected to abrasion.

Qno 2 ans.

Connective tissue establishes connection among other types of tissue and it consists of fibres , ground substances and cells.connective tissue is classified as dense regular connective tissue and dense irrugular connective tissue their difference is based on the arrangement of fibres.

In dense regular connective tissue fibres are arranged in parallel to each other to form bundle with specific orientation .it is mostly found in tendons and ligaments

In dense irrugular connective tissue fibres are irregularly arranged to form different orientated bundles.it is found in sclera and deep layers of skin.
