Who produce the fibers and ground substances that form the matrix of fibrous connective tissue?
1. Connective Tissue Proper- Extracellular fibers and a syrupy ground substances2. Fluid Connective Tissue- Watery matrix3. Supporting Connective Tissue- Densely packed fibers, the matrix consists of calcium salts
What is the makeup of the matrix in connective tissue?
The matrix consist of fibers and ground substances that determines the character of the matrix, which in turn difines the kind of connective tissue.
What three elements are present in all connective tissue?
The three main components of connective tissue are:Ground substanceExtracellular protein fibersSpecialized cells
What is the makeup the matrix in connective tissue?
Ground substance and fibers
What is the function of connective tissue?
Connects and supports. ( diverse in structure and function)Connective tissues have cells separated by a matrix that contain substances and fibers.So all types have three components: Specialized cells, ground sunbstance and protein fibers. support and protectThey support, protect and attach structures together.It holds body structures together.
Why blood is considered a connective tissue?
I know it sounds weird for a liquid to be a connective tissue, but it is. All connective tissues have a ratio of ground substance, a gel-like binding substance, in their extra-cellular matrix, the combination of water, carbohydrates, proteins, and in the case of bones, minerals, that lies between cells. The higher ratio of ground substance creates a more fluid substance, like blood. If it has a low ratio of ground substance, it can be as hard as bone, another connective tissue. It has lots of minerals, calcium and phosphorus in its extra-cellular matrix.Because molecularly the type of tissue that forms the blood contains the same structures as those in other connective tissues and so it comes from the same parent tissues.
What are the characteristics of connective tissue?
Connective tissue contains specialized cells, extracellular protein fibers, ground substance (fluid) and matrix. Matrix is protein fibers and ground substance combined and it surrounds the specialized cells.
What is the sticky material between cells of areolar connective tissue?
The sticky material between cells of areolar connective tissue is known as "ground substance."
What is the nonliving material between connective tissue cells?
fibers and a ground substance
How does moss prevent landslides?
Moss prevents landslides by binding it self to the ground
What is the function of hyaluronic acid in ground substance?
It serves as the viscous fluid of connective tissue proper.
What is a type of connective tissue that is organizes into a system of fibers or embedded into a ground substance or matrix?
collagen
