Question 1
A layer of proteoglycans and a network of filaments that prevents the movement of proteins and other large molecules from the connective tissue to epithelium describes
◦ areolar tissue.
◦ the basal lamina.
◦ endothelium.
◦ interfacial canals.
◦ the reticular lamina.
Question 2
The distinguishing characteristic of connective tissue is
◦ that it is always dividing, constantly being replaced throughout the body.
