- Underneath Epithelial Layers: It supports the epithelium in structures such as the skin and mucous membranes. - Around Blood Vessels and Nerves: It cushions and protects these structures. - In Serous Membranes: Such as the pleura, peritoneum, and pericardium, where it provides a flexible support framework.
