Epithelium is connected to underlying connective tissue by

Biology
1 answer:
Brums [2.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: a basement membrane.

Explanation:

The basement membrane is a thin and fibrous membrane that is found under the epithelium and<u> attaches it to the connective tissue</u>. The basement membrane is <u>composed of two membranes</u>: the basal lamina (with laminin and collagen IV, among other proteins), and the lamina reticularis (that has collagen III making up reticular fibers). The basement membrane also has the function of a <u>mechanical barrier that prevents the invasion of deeper tissues by malignant cells</u>.

Epithelial tissue and connective tissue are two of the four basic tissues found in the body (the other two are nervous tissue and muscle tissue). Epithelial tissue makes up the skin and the <u>inner lining of hollow organs</u> (like the stomach or the trachea), and has multiple functions that are responsible for the function of the organ where it's located. Connective tissue is basically any type of tissue that connects the epithelium to muscle tissue or nervous tissue: <u>from blood, to bone, and to fat</u>.

cupoosta [38]
The answer is Convergence of images behind the Retina

Convex lens converges light to a principal focus. The thickness of the lens determines the focal length (distance between the center of the lens and the principal focal point). Therefore, by evaluating the thickness of the convex lens, farsightedness, (an eye defect of convergence of images behind the retina) can be corrected by enabling images in the eye to form behind the retina.

Which one of the following statements is true? A. Voluntary hyperventilation results in acidosis. B. Emphysema directly impairs
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

Voluntary hyperventilation results in alkalosis, not in acidosis. Alkalosis takes place when the body possesses too many bases. It can take place due to decreased levels of carbon dioxide or due to enhanced level of bicarbonates in the blood, that is, a base.  

Emphysema directly impairs exhalation more than it directly impairs inhalation. Emphysema refers to a lung disorder, which leads to shortness of breath. In the individuals suffering from the condition, the air sacs in the lungs, that is, alveoli get damaged.  

The hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve shifts to the right at the time of metabolic acidosis. The low partial pressure of oxygen within the lungs results in the constriction of pulmonary arterioles. Thus, all the mentioned statements are false.

How does science directly affect you? Where will what you have learned lead you next? PLEASE HELP ME RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!
Andru [333]

Answer: Literally everywhere. Having an at least basic level of science helps you in day-to-day situations. For example, cooking. Not only is it crucial to understand the chemical and physical processes when cooking, you should also understand the complexity of how these micro and macromolecule exchange processes affect you and your body. Another prime example is your health, or human processes. You might not realize this, but your body is a plethora of complex, interconnected systems and networks that work hard 24/7 to maintain homeostasis (keep you alive). Understanding how our human physiques conduct themselves helps us gain the knowledge to be able to stay alive.

Ket [755]
The answer is <span>2 can be made by the animal's body from other substances.

Both essential and nonessential amino acids have essential roles in the organism. Nonessential amino acids got their name because they are not an essential part of the diet. The main difference between these two groups of amino acid is that essential amino acids cannot be made by the animal's body and must be ingested in the diet unlike the nonessential amino acid which can be made by the animal's body.</span>
