Loose connective tissue
In the small intestine, a loose connective tissue lies beneath the epithelium and surrounds many glands associated with the epithelium. In this position, loose connective tissue allows for cell migration and diffusion and provides cushioning and support for the epithelium and glands. Loose connective tissue also contains phagocytic and immunoresponsive cells. 100x, 400x
