Portland, Maine â For the first time, scientists have figured out how to determine the age of a lobster â by counting its rings, like a tree. Nobody knows how old lobsters can live to be; some people estimate they live to more than 100.
The lamina propria (more correctly lamina propria mucosae) mucosÃ¦ is a thin layer of loose connective, tissue or dense irregular connective, tissue which lies beneath the epithelium and together with the epithelium constitutes the. mucosa
Connective tissue in which there are relatively few fibers and lots of cells is loose connective tissue. Found in such places as the Lamina Propria of the gut, loose connective tissue is composed of fibers that run in many directions and form an open, watery, cellular meshwork.The Lamina Propria, which consists of Dense Irregular Connective Tissue in the tongue, consists of loose connective tissue throughout the remainder of the alimentary canal.) Light microscopy (Figure A) cannot show where a cell ends and the fibers begin.
