What makes up the organic and inorganic portions of matrix?
The two major components of the matrix are ground substances and fibers. Fibers can be broken into the classes; collagen, elastic and reticular fibers.
What is the dentin of the tooth?
It is a yellow, bone-like material under the enamel and cementum. It contains nerve fibers.
Which tissue has a fluid matrix with no protein fibers?
blood serum
What is a connective tissue with stony hard matrix?
Bone.
What is Osteoid tissue?
The organic component of the matrix of bones
What protein fibers are bone matrix composed of?
collagen
What tissue has a matrix that contains collagen and mineral salts?
Bone is not connective tissue. Instead, connective tissue -- ligaments and tendons -- connect to the bone.
The protein fibers of the bone matrix are composed of?
collegen, Collagen
Cartilage is another name for bone?
No. Cartilage is not another name for bone. It is hard tissue like bone, but is mostly made of collagen fibers, whereas bone is mostly made of extracellular matrix that contains calcium and phosphorus.
What are the cells that produce organic matrix in bone?
The cells that produce the collagen and inorganic salts of bone matrix are osteocytes. Osteocytes maintain the protein and mineral content of the bone matrix. Osteogenesis is the production of new bone matrix.
What is a serious bone disease characterized by excessive loss of both calcified matrix and collagenous fibers from bone?
Osteoporosis
What is osteoid and what is hydroxyapatite what are the functional qualities of osteoid and hydroxyapatite of bone tissue?
osteoid is the primary semisolid bone matrix that is secreted by osteoblast. hydroxyapatite is a crystalized mineral that surrounds collagen fibers of the matrix to solidify bone.
What gives bones strengths and hardness?
Collagen fibers within the bone matrix.
Can osteoblasts divide?
Yes, they divide, and as they divide, they create bone matrix and collagen fibers. As the osteoblasts become surrounded by the bone matrix, it hardens, enclosing the cells in a lacuna, transforming them into osteocytes. Osteocytes cannot divide.
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.
Bone is what kind of tissue?
Bone cells are called osteocytes, and the matrix of the bone is made of calcium salts and collagen. Bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body.
Bone is somewhat flexible due to the presence of what choose 1 calcium or phosphates or collagen or hydroxyapatite?
collagen fibers in the matrix
