Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.
b. Loose connective tissue features protein fibers as its primary component.
Yes, because the collagen allows connective tissue to stretch, so supplementing with collagen fibers will allow the skin to stretch & tighten to remove wrinkles.
Yes, because epithelial tissue is specialized for absorption, so biological molecules like collagen fibers will be quickly integrated into areolar tissue.
No, because areolar tissue mostly produces elastin, so the difference in collagen production is unlikely to affect wrinkles.
No, because stratified squamous epithelial tissue prevents the passage of most molecules, so the large collagen fibers will not reach the underlying areolar and dense irregular connective tissues.
