While observing a tissue underneath the microscope you not the following characteristics. The

slide appears to contain multiple tissue types but you are focused on the tissue that contains lots of
space with no visible fibers. The substance shows concentric lamellae. Small cells are found within
the lamellae, although the individual nucleus is not visible. Each lamellae appears to have a central
area that does not contains cells.
Use the description provided to DRAW the tissue on a piece of paper. Label the structures
identified above. Then use your text and/or notes to answer the following questions.
Please take a picture your drawing and paste it to the page with your answers so you can submit
everything as one document. Thanks!
1. What type of tissue are you looking at (be specific)? Briefly explain why you chose this tissue.
2. Describe is the primary function of this tissue?
3. Identify at least one organ where you would find this tissue, explain how the tissue supports the
organ's function.

Answer:

see below semi-full answer

Step-by-step explanation:

I am unable to create drawings and take pictures. However, I can help you with the identification of the tissue and the other questions you have.

1. It's probable that the tissue you're viewing is cartilage. Concentric lamellae, which are layers of matrix that enclose the cells, are present in cartilage, a form of connective tissue that has a lot of open space but no discernible fibers. Each lamellae looks to have an empty center region, and the individual nucleus is not discernible.

2. For the most part, cartilage serves to support and cushion the joints and other bodily components. The body's cartilage, a moderately hard yet flexible structure, assists to disperse stresses and absorb shock. Additionally, it offers a smooth surface for joint mobility and aids in keeping the contour of several bodily structures.

3. The ear is one organ where this tissue may be found. The external ear's structure is made of cartilage, which serves to shape and build the ear as well as amplify sound waves. By preserving the ear's structure and enhancing sound waves, cartilage in the ear promotes the ear's ability to operate.
