Q. Which tissue forms the supporting framework for epithelium?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Structural Organisation in Animals

Solution:

Loose connective tissue has cells and fibres loosely arranged in a semi-fluid ground substance, for example, areolar tissue present beneath the skin. Often it serves as a support framework for epithelium. It contains fibroblasts (cells that produce and secrete fibres), macrophages and mast cells.
