where is elastic tissue found in the body
Elastic fiber Elastic fibers are found in the skin, lungs, arteries, veins, connective tissue proper, elastic cartilage, periodontal ligament, fetal tissue and other structures. Elastic fibers are absent from scarring, keloids and dermatofibromas and they are decreased greatly, or are absent in anetodermas.[3]
Subcutaneous tissue The hypodermis is beneath dermis which is beneath epidermis. It is used mainly for fat storage.
Skin appendage Skin appendages are derived from the skin, and are usually adjacent to it.[1]
Vein Veins are less muscular than arteries and are often closer to the skin. There are valves in most veins to prevent backflow.
