Epithelium is connected to underlying connective tissue by

Biology

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>.

Why does water move through a membrane?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The cells need water to maintain their metabolic functions, the way water enters through cells membranes is by osmosis.

Explanation:

The cell membrane is a lipidic bilayer composed of phospholipids and embedded proteins. Phospholipids have the characteristic of being amphiphilic which means that possess hydrophilic and lipophilic characteristics. The most common way is by osmosis, that is a mechanism that moves water from high concentration to less concentration of water.  In the cell membrane, there are is channels of proteins called aquaporins that facilitate the pass of water through the membrane. Also, as water is a very small molecule without charge, this characteristic allows passing a limit amount of water molecules through the hydrophilic characteristic of membranes.
