Collagen is the connective tissue.
COLLAGEN
An extracellular matrix is produced by glycoprotein secretion by animal cells. The simplest cells are the prokaryotic bacteria. Ribosomes are structures that are found within bacterial cells.
The cells are often bound to the extracellular matrix by proteins in the plasma membrane. The extracellular matrix is the structural support of tissue.
Cell membrane is the outer barrier of cell which seperates it from the extracellular matrix.
they have functional connections with the cytoskeleton inside the cell.
The Extracellular Matrix
Animal cells secrete a sticky coat called the extracellular matrix. This layer holds cells together in tissues, and it can also have protective and supportive functions.
