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>.

Compare and contrast Mendel's laws: Law of Dominance, Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent Assortment
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The Law of Dominance states that the dominant allele completely masks the presence of a recessive allele. The law of segregation states that the two alleles for each trait separate during the formation of gametes and that during the formation of new zygotes, the alleles will combine at random with other alleles. A parent gives only one allele to make a gene. The law of independent assortment says that the allele that a gene receives first has no bearing on the allele it will receive second.

Both klebsiella pneumoniae and streptococcus pneumoniae avoid phagocytosis by releasing a-b toxins that kill leukocytes.
Kobotan [32]
This is a false statement.

Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae are two bacteria who are encapsulated, that means that they are surrounded by an envelope. This capsule is critical to their pathogenicity since it protects them from the phagocytes of the human immune system. Certain proteins located on the surface of their capsule prevent the phagocytic cell from adhering to the bacteria and engulfing it.
