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
Lamina propria also contains glands with the ducts opening on to the mucosal epithelium, that secrete mucus and serous secretions. The lamina propria is also rich in immune cells known as lymphocytes. A majority of these cells are IgA-secreting B cells.s its Latin name indicates it is a characteristic component of the mucosa, the mucosa's own special layer. Thus the term mucosa or mucous membrane always refers to the combination of the epithelium plus the lamina propria. The connective tissue of the lamina propria is very loose allowing it to be very cell rich.
