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
The epithelium of the lower anal canal contains similarly shaped cell layers. This shape helps to protect the tissues that are below the epithelium. The epithelium also contains many cells that secrete mucus. This mucus lubricates the digestive tract.The lamina propia is a sub-layer that is made of loose connective tissue. The muscularis mucosae is a sub-layer of smooth muscle. The next layer after the mucosa is called the submucosa. This layer is a thick layer of loose connective tissue.his mucus lubricates the digestive tract. The lamina propia is a sub-layer that is made of loose connective tissue.
