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
