Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 6RC
A layer of glycoproteins and a network of fine protein filaments that perform limited functions together act as a barrier that restricts the movement of proteins and other large molecules from the connective tissue to epithelium. This description illustrates the structure and function of
(a) interfacial canals.
(b) the reticular lamina.
(c) the basement membrane.
(d) areolar tissue.

Connective tissue is found throughout the entire body and connect various
body parts together. Although there are various types of connective tissue, all
connective tissue contains both specialized cells and extracellular matrix.
(a) Identify two types of fibers found within the extracellular matrix of connec-
tive tissue.
(b) Explain the function of the two fibers you identified in part (a).
You can start your sentences like this:
. Two types of fibers found within the extracellular matrix of connective
tissue are...
