Question
which type of connective tissue is located within and deep to the dermis of the skin; is covered by the epithelial lining of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts; is located between muscles; and is located around blood vessels, nerves, and around joints?
options: reticular tissue, dense regular connective tissue, elastic tissue, areolar tissue, i dont know yet
Areolar tissue (loose connective tissue) is located in the dermis, under epithelial linings of tracts, between muscles, around blood vessels, nerves, and joints. Reticular tissue is for support (e.g., lymphoid organs), dense regular for tendons/ligaments, elastic for stretchy structures (e.g., arteries). So the correct type is areolar tissue.
