  2. Gastrointestinal wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_wall

    The submucosa consists of a dense and irregular layer of connective tissue with blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves branching into the mucosa and muscular layer. It contains the submucous plexus , and enteric nervous plexus , situated on the inner surface of the muscular layer.

  3. Submucosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submucosa

    The submucosa (or tela submucosa) is a thin layer of tissue in various organs of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and genitourinary tracts. It is the layer of dense irregular connective tissue that supports the mucosa (mucous membrane) and joins it to the muscular layer, the bulk of overlying smooth muscle (fibers running circularly within layer of longitudinal muscle).

  4. Dense irregular connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_irregular_connective...

    This type of connective tissue is found mostly in the reticular layer (or deep layer) of the dermis. [3] It is also in the sclera and in the deeper skin layers. Due to high portions of collagenous fibers, dense irregular connective tissue provides strength, making the skin resistant to tearing by stretching forces from different directions.

    Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis, performed as a contrast CT, here presented in the sagittal, en:Coronal planecoronal and axial plane, with 3 mm slice thickness. It shows normal anatomy, with no injuries. The subject is a 21 year old male who had blunt trauma to the upper abdomen during motocross.

  6. Ileum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ileum

    A submucosa formed by dense irregular connective tissue that carries the larger blood vessels and a nervous component called submucosal plexus, which is part of the enteric nervous system; An external muscular layer formed by two layers of smooth muscle arranged in circular bundles in the inner layer and in longitudinal bundles in the outer layer.

  7. Mesothelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesothelium

    The mesothelium forms a monolayer of flattened squamous-like epithelial cells resting on a thin basement membrane supported by dense irregular connective tissue. Cuboidal mesothelial cells may be found at areas of injury, the milky spots of the omentum, and the peritoneal side of the diaphragm overlaying the lymphatic lacunae.

  8. Human skin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skin

    It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue, and receives its name from the dense concentration of collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibres that weave throughout it. These protein fibres give the dermis its properties of strength, extensibility, and elasticity.

  9. Toldt's fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toldt's_fascia

    Toldt's fascia, is a discrete layer of connective tissue containing lymphatic channels. [1] It is found between the two mesothelial layers that separate the mesocolon from the underlying retroperitoneum.
