It is formed by many cells and extracellular matrix containing mostly thin collagen fibers. It becomes highlighted in red after using the cursor or clicking on the image.<br \/>\nThe connective tissue underlying the lining epithelium of organs of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary systems is often called the <strong>lamina propria<\/strong>. The epithelium and lamina propria together constitute the <strong>mucosal layer<\/strong> or simply <strong>mucosa<\/strong> of these organs. <\/p>\n<p>Observe under the mucosa a layer of dense, irregular connective tissue that becomes highlighted in light blue. It is formed of a large amount of parallel collagen fibrils and fewer cells than the loose conective tissue.<br \/>\nA thin layer of smooth muscle separates these two connective tissues.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n  <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"> <\/p>\n<div onclick>\n<div class=\"image-container\">\n<div class=\"extra\">\n<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-34.jpg \" onmouseover=\"this.src=' https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-34MO.jpg'\" onmouseout=\"this.src=' https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-34.jpg'\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Small intestine.
